What Could Excess Urination In People With High Blood Sugar Suggest?

Blood sugar has been high for several days now. Today it keeps going up again. It is now at 356. I have also been peeing ALOT and very thirsty last couple of days. Should I adress this or wait to see if it levels out. Also I am on Metfromin 500mg twice a day.

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Such levels of blood sugar, excessive urination and thirst you are experiencing lately indicate an uncontrolled diabetes. Unfortunately metformin you are taking seems to be unable to control blood sugar by itself. You will need a combination of drugs which may be oral antidiabetics or insulin too. I would recommend you to contact your endocrinologist as soon as possible to help you get the proper cure and lower the sugar level. Don't stay at home waiting if it levels out. It won't.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
