Diabetes: All diabetes is genetic. Doesn't matter if its type i or ii. Persistent high glucose levels indicate Insulin resistance, which means your body isn't able to metabolize free glucose. You should see your primary physician or an endocrinologist to figure out where your hba1c levels are and see what needs to be done next. Please don't put this off.

Diabetes: A high blood sugar by itself is not dka. Dka is a metabolic emergency due to the decompensation of a patient who's had prolonged Insulin deficiency, mostly in type 1 patients. With some exception, a high blood sugar by itself doesn't distinguish type 1 from type 2 diabetes. A physician should be involved with any patient suspected of having high blood sugars.
