Should I Go To ER For Blood Sugar Level Of 454?

I was showing symptoms of diabetes: insatiable thirst, frequent urination. Went to pharmacy and had pharmacist check my blood sugar, which came back at 454. Does this warrant a trip to the emergency room or can I wait till the morning and go to urgent care. I don t have insurance.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.Your sugars of 454 are very high.If you are alone and far away from medical setup,i would advice you to go to ER now only.
Otherwise you can wait till morning and go to ER as soon as possible as soon as possible in the morning.Surely you have diabetes and you need to take treatment for the same.
Thank you
