Excessive Thirst, High BGM, Nausea. What Can Help?
My husband has not been feeling well, been extremely thirsty and voiding frequently. He bought a glucose meter and discovered his bgm was 370. Called the on-call doctor this morning who said call his doctor tomorrow. Now he has been unable to keep anything down due to nausea but his blood sugar is still 280. What can he do to bring his blood sugar down naturally?

Hello,
Dangerously high blood glucose levels ( around 300 ) require emergency medical treatment. Since your husband is already experiencing nausea and vomiting,you should take him urgently to ER because untreated high sugar levels can cause life threatening dehydration and loss of consciousness.
There is no natural way which can correct high blood sugar levels very fast.
The only way ,in such a situation,is injectable insulin and proper intravenous fluids.
I hope you understand the gravity of situation.
Thanks
