Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

The blood sugar levels usually vary during the day. The sugar levels are immediately after food and gradually reduces. The sugar levels you have mentioned are slightly higher to normal. So he may need a slight rise in dosage.

Its not an emergency, you can just consult his regular physician.

Hope this guides you. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Thank you.
Wishing your husband good health.

Hello,
These levels don't suggest any urgency and you do you can wait for another couple of days.
Till then take plenty of fluids,avoid sugar,sweets and carbonated drinks.
Thanks
