Is my blood sugar of 262 dangerous?
High blood sugar of 262 been high for 4 days
General Physician
Answered on 26th Aug '24
High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, fatigue, and increased urination. If it is high for too long, like 262 for 4 days, it can be dangerous. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.

Female | 55
Hi there! Your blood sugar remains high despite taking medications regularly. This means your body may not respond well to the current medications. High blood sugars can cause symptoms like increased urination, feeling thirsty, and tiredness. You might need different medicines or adjusted doses. It's crucial to discuss this with your doctor to find a better way to control your sugar levels.

I have sugar 203 after 4 hrs of eating
Female | 69
High blood sugar above 203 is abnormal after eating. It occurs when your body can't produce enough insulin or use it correctly. You may often feel thirsty, tired, and hungry. Manage high blood sugar by following a balanced diet, staying active through exercise, and taking medications prescribed. Check blood sugar levels frequently. See your doctor for more guidance.

I've been given the wrong dose meds, I'm meant to be on 100mg a day, I have 50mg tablets, I take 2 a day. I've been given 150mg tablets, the prescription sticker on the box says 50mg, but it's a box of 150 mg tablets, I've been taking 2 a day for a couple weeks.
Female | 27
You accidentally took incorrect medication dosing. Two 150mg tablets daily exceeds your prescribed dosage. This elevated dosage could trigger adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, nausea. Promptly notify your doctor about this mix-up for proper dosage adjustment tailored to your needs.

I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.
Male | 67
Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have diabetes. Your high Hba1c levels cause it. Diabetes damages nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth makes swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your dentist advised. Sip water frequently. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it persists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore treatment options.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

My father Ave is 60, non diabetic ,when he checked his sugar level post meal within 2 hours of meal his blood sugar level is 140 ,is it normal or pre diabetic
Male | 60
Once you have finished eating, a blood sugar level of 140 is a bit high if you don't have diabetes. It hints you may develop diabetes later on. Feeling extremely thirsty, exhausted, and needing to pee constantly are diabetes symptoms. To reduce blood sugar levels, consume more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while cutting back on sugary foods, and beverages. Exercising frequently can also help keep sugar levels in check.

Female | 46
Your sugar remains elevated despite medicine. Too much sugar risks skin boils - red, painful lumps filled with pus. Diabetes often causes boils when sugars stay high. Lowering sugars prevent boils. Your meds or diet may need adjusting. It's wise to discuss concerns with your doctor soon.

My father was suggested to take Glimpride 1 mg along with Dapa 10 mg but by mistake he took Glimpride 2 mg
Male | 78
Your dad took too high a dosage of his medicine. He could feel woozy, shaky or tired. Glimpride 2 mg is stronger than his 1 mg dose. It can cause blood sugar levels to drop way too low. Give him sugary foods or drinks to boost his sugar. Watch him closely. Let the doctor know right away what occurred.

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?
Male | 50
Lab tests help doctors check health issues. Your uncle might need tests like HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (heart health), and cardiac markers (irregular heartbeats). With kidney disease, creatinine levels usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swelling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function closely while treating diabetes, heart conditions, and other problems.

Hello Doctor, My grandmother age is 72. She has Diabetes, BP, urinary tract infection. Recently, a mild cyst found in her kidney through CT Scan. 15 days ago, her condition went serious and we joined her In hospital. Her sugar levels were 600mg/dl. Doctors treated her and dropped her sugar levels to normal. Now, she is mentally not stable and taking full bed rest. She is unable to stand or sit on her own.

Your grandmother faced challenging times. Her health conditions recently caused worries. Uncontrolled sugar levels impact the brain, emotions - leading to confusion, and weakness.

m a diabetic patient ifeel my left arm feels vacant while sleeping in night
Male | 50
A medical issue may be causing numbness in your arm at night. Peripheral neuropathy often occurs with diabetes. Excess glucose damages arm nerves, creating that vacant feeling. Controlling sugar levels helps reduce tingling or numbness. Your diet, exercise, prescribed medication — these properly manage blood sugar. Achieve healthy targets to relieve neuropathy discomfort affecting your limb.
