Cool down! You cant be dying. Patients with blood glucose 400 mg/dl and BP 200/140 are still living. But it doesn t mean that I am encouraging you to go for that. Yes, you are right in thinking so, because diabetes doesn t kill but the complications arising out of diabetes kills. It means that your chances of dying because of heart attack is increased by 2-3 fold if you are a diabetic than not. Same is the case with smoking or Hypertension. Also understand if you are a diabetic, you have 285 million people on earth for company. So what do you do if you have diabetes is, to maintain your blood glucose levels. By 267 mg/dl I interpret that to be your Post-prandial glucose. Getting it to atleast 200 mg/dl first should be your first goal. Try exercise ( half-hour walking 5 times a week, dieting, and Metformin 500mg, Altase 5 mg as a first measure. (if you are not on any). Kindly write to me on your age, duration of diabetes, your latest blood values for me to suggest you medications. Take care.
