Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM for health query.

You had backache,palpitation,shortness of breath and you have gone to a doctor and found to have blood sugar of 500.

Sir,if I have a patient like this in my outpatient department..I would first rule out diabetic ketoacidosis..If confirmed to have ketosis will admit and treat with IV fluid (saline),insulin,electrolytes broad spectrum antibiotics and other supportive measures

Palpitations,swaeting,abdominal pain , shortness of breath are the cardinal symptoms of ketosis..

So I suggest you to go to doctor immediately and in case they advice you admission kindly abide.

Till then drink plenty of water.

Hope this feedback helps .

Take care
