If : If you have type 1 diabetes, why not take a dose of fast acting insulin? Humalog, apidra, (insulin glulisine) and NovoLog work within 15 minutes to start lowering the sugar. I do not know of any clear glucose level at which you could not get remicade. Makes little sense why there would be since glucose can vary with Insulin and over hours. Your rheumatologist may not be comfortable dosing your Remicade though if your sugar is high. Contrary to popular belief, drinking water will not lower your sugar. And beef sticks sure don't.
