Question : blood sugar was 540 which is not normal for me. I feel fine and had no effects. took my insulin and count dropped to 454 which is still to high. have had diabetis for 23 years. how abnormal is this count?
Brief Answer:
High blood sugars
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.At your age, doctors aim for a fasting blood sugar of around 130 mg and post meals or random blood sugar up to 180 mg.
Your current blood sugars are quite high. This could be due to improper dose, or improper insulin technique or damaged insulin or due to any infections. You may need to call your diabetes nurse and fix an appointment with them. By the way, do you have any cough/cold/difficulty with urination etc?
