How Can High Blood Sugar Levels Be Managed?
I am type 2 non insulin diabetic and made very poor choices in food this evening. Just checked my glucometer and reading was 414. Took my vyctoza injection of 1.2 mgs right away. I am not having any symptoms at the moment, but it is bedtime and I cant go to sleep with this reading on my mind. Am I in danger of going into diabetic coma with this high reading? Is there anything I can do at this moment to counter act this reading?

Hello,
For now, if you don't feel any symptoms of hyperglycemic coma then don't worry and do these things.
Since you took your Liraglutide injection at evening time, you can check your blood sugar again and if this is in the normal range, that's fine.
Usually, type 2 DM with BS of 400 mg/dL doesn't do anything acutely so relax and just monitor the sugar and keep yourself well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ameet Kumar
