This : This means your sugar is above 600 on most meters. That's is indeed high. If you have type 1 diabetes you should check your urine ketones. You should promptly call your doctor to find out what to do next and why you are high. Keep in mind that outdated test strips are unreliable and that sugar on the finger can give you a false reading.

Please : Please call your physician office right away and if afterhours, seek the nearest er for immediate attention. Your bs is above 400 and depending on the type of diabetes you have, you may be at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis which can lead to severe dehydration and rapid breathing. Cayce t.
