A member asked:

My mom's blood sugar is 258. it usually runs under 150. she has had dinner and took her usual dose of glipizi. what could have caused the increase?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

258: Is this a once only result? If so check blood sugar on alternate mornings and alternate evenings. If this 258 is not once only your mother would do well see a diabetes educator.
