Brief Answer:
Hyperglycemia
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
you are concerned that her blood sugars are elevated. 560 is quite high and may indicate infection or other stress to her body. I recommend that she contact her doctor or be seen at an urgent care. An elevated blood sugar can eventually cause coma and need for intensive care.
I recommend that she be seen to find the cause of her elevated blood sugars.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns or questions
