A member asked:

My husband just found out he has diabetes. tonight before dinner it was 475. upon waking it is 250. what do we need to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Your husband's diabetes is not controlled, and he needs medication. The 475 blood sugar suggests the need for insulin. Please see your doctor.
