Suggest Treatment For High Sugar Level In The Blood
Hi doctor
My father (age: 65yrs) has high sugar levels (310mg/l fasting blood sugar and 436mg/l post lunch blood sugar, +++ urine sugar fasting, ++++ urine sugar post lunch). We met a doctor and he prescribed 2 blood tests, 2 urine tests(one is culture) and chest xray. But it takes 3-4 days to get test results. Is it ok for us to wait till then. Or do you suggest to admit him to hospital. He is currently taking insulin 25 in morning and 25 night. He is diabetic for past 10-15 yrs.
