Hello, I just took my blood sugar and its 564. It was lower earlier in the day, and I am taking metformin (started yesterday) Should I just wait and see how things go or should I get to the hospital?

Hi. You should have rechecked your sugar levels immediately. With the type of readings you have i would advise you to immediately go to a hospital. Please treat this as emergency.
