What Is The Range For Diabetes For Doctor Consultation?
Is there a certain number when I should I go to the ER for diabetes? i have been a non-insulin type II diabetic since 10/03 and have been diet controlled for the last 2 years. a friend got me a glucose meter after I had mentioned leg and foot pain. I checked it 10 mins ago and am at 511. last night before bed I was at 277

Hi,
With a blood sugar level of 511 you should go to ER.
With this blood sugar level there may be chances of altered sensorium or even coma.
Every diabetic patient should consult diabetologist at the time of diagnosis and periodically there after depending upon your blood sugar levels, as advised by doctor.
I will recommend to visit doctor whenever blood sugar is above 250.
With such a high blood sugar level there may be need for further evaluation and insulin for better sugar control.
Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
