Hello,
I think you should wait and get blood sugar rechecked again.
If still as high as 400 or higher, then, go to ER. Otherwise, give medications as prescribed. Increase fluids intake.
Prepare cinnamon tea with green tea, and let him drink. Most important should relax and try to cope with stress.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
