What Causes Extremely High Levels Of Blood Sugar Levels?
My aunt was called this morning from her doctor s office, with whom she d had blood work done yesterday. They spoke to her son and ordered him to get her to the hospital immediately... she is diabetic and blood sugar level was above 800 from the lab results. How can someone reach this level if they are taking their insulin as prescribed?
