Suggest Treatment For High Blood Sugar Level

I just got a surprise reading of a blood sugar of 441, I am a diabetic, and I have ran out of my Januvia meds, which I have not taken in several days, because I get that medicine from CVS mail order. Is this cause for alarm , and how can I lower it fast?

Hi! High blood sugar to the tune of 400+ is definitely a cause of alarm and it needs to be brought down as quickly as possible. I do not know your age and co-existing morbidities, so I cannot comment on the exact problems. But, uncontrolled high sugars can cause a lot of vascular problems and can affect the brain, heart, eye and the kidney. It is advisable for you to start your prescribed medicines or contact your doctor. Trust I have answered your question.
