Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
The level you reported is high.
Try to find a reason why the glucose is high, did you exaggerate with the diet?
Do you have any acute illness?
It is not an emergency if you have no symptoms, but you need to check the HbA1c level and consult a physician to change the therapy.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
