Brief Answer:
You have Diabetes type II. Diet modification is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such result allows to recognize diabetes type II. You should start the treatment.
The most important part of treatment is diet and lifestyle modification.
You should start some regular physical activity. You should have 5 regular meals (instead of 2-3). Fiber, low fat meat (chicken), fishes, vegetables should be increased in your diet. Sweets and alcohol should be eliminated. Salt intake should be reduced.
If you are overweight, loosing some weight can completely cure diabetes.

You should also consult your doctor and have some medicines (Metformin) prescribed. Dietitian consult would be a good idea as well.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I have been dianosed with diabetes but was told by my doctor to stop taking insulin. I am on heart meds and blood thinner. Lately my sugar level has been spiking to an. unusual high of 200. I refused to go back to the hospital. What can I do at home to keep this from reoccurring?

Brief Answer:
At home you can modify your diet.

Detailed Answer:
Diet modification is what you can do at home. Nothing else can be done.

But refusing to consult a doctor again is not a good idea. Please note that high sugar level destroys your blood vessels. It can worsen you heart blood vessels, destroy kidneys vessels (kidney failure), eye vessels (blindness), feet vessels (feet necrosis) and brain vessels (stroke). In simple words, it can cause serious complications and be life threatening.
Please try to consult a doctor if its possible.
