A member asked:
Is blood sugar 268 high if so can the er help me?

Yes and No: Yes that is high. You need to be worked up for diabetes but unless you are feeling poorly, have a fever, vomiting, or abdominal pains it is not an emergency to rush to the ER for. Give your doctor a call in the morning.

Yes it is high: That is a high glucose but it does not require a visit to the ED in itself. You should make an appointment to see your doctor as it is very likely you have diabetes. Think about a low sugar healthier diet, weight loss and exercise.
