Are Consistently High Sugar Levels, Excess Thirst And Frequent Urination Serious Concerns?

I am 45. Female. 6 1.5 . 155 lbs. Been checking my blood sugar because it ran high at a health screening. Always over 240 when fasting at least 10 hours. 247 this morning. Just ate dinner, and it s 463. Always overly thirsty. Getting up 4-5 times a night to urinate. VERY sleepy feeling a lot. Am I ok to make a doctor s appointment and wait for that, or is this something I should rush finding out about?

Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given.
Your blood glucose levels are high, both fasting (247 mg) & after food (463 mg). This definitely is a serious concern. You have diabetes, which needs immediate initiation of treatment. Because of high glucose level after dinner, you are bound get more urine at night, disturbing your sleep. Feeling excessively thirsty, more hungry and going to toilet more often are clear signs of diabetes, plus tired feeling. Ideally there has to be immediate treatment initiation to control blood glucose, plus diet control like avoiding sweets, deep fried foods, high fat products (cheese), junk foods, pastries and other bakery items. Your weight and height seem to be fine. Plus avoid sweet corn syrup containing products and colas. If possible please seek immediate advise from the doctor. Waiting is not good. Thanks.
