Re: 765 blood glucose reading

[Guest guest]

With readings that high consider going to the ER. You are really placing

your life in jeopardy with BG levels that high. I am not a doctor and only

know what I would do. Think of it this way, your blood is now very thick at

500+. When BGL are high and the risk of stroke and heart problems rise

exponentially..

765 blood glucose reading

I just took my readings today. Fasting was HI ! My meter says thats over

500. I tried my friends meter

and tonight it was 765. That was before i ate dinner. For dinner i had 3

eggs.

I called my HMO and they told me to come in on Monday.

I currently take 1 15 mg of Actos and 1 750 Metformin XL twice a day.

THIS IS WHAT MY DR CALLS AGRESSIVE TREATMENT.

If I took 45 mg of Actos a day and took 2 metformins XL will my numbers come

down

before Monday??

I feel fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Barry,

I would be very concerned with a BG that high that you really need to

go to the hospital and have them bring it down. I really don't know

if your meds will be sufficient because this is such an individual

disease. Your meds may be fine for you but would be detrimental for

me.

I know that when my friend's BGs go into the 400s she is supposed to

go to the hospital, but she also has other health problems.

I would call your doctor back and ask him or if there is more than

one dr. talk to the doctor on call.. See what he says. If you talked

to your doctor before than maybe it's okay... (office staff doesn't

count). I would definitely test more frequently.

Unless the dosage was increased, I would probably say not..they might

come down some...but I could be wrong.

Best Regards,

Keep us posted, Barry.

I hope they get bgs down soon...that is way way too high! Sounds like your

aggressive treatment isn't as aggressive as it needs to be.

40 lashes with a wet noodle to your doc. Hehe.

I do hope that you are better today. If not please don't mess around with

your numbers that high. Before you realize it you could pass out and coma or

convultions are no fun. Call your doctor ASAP or get yourself to the emergency

room.
