Both? Neither?: Elevated blood sugar is associated with diabetes, which is one of the two leading causes of kidney failure. If you have diabetes, do your best to work with your doctor to get it under better control. This will reduce your risk of kidney failure, but will also reduce your risk of heart disease, blindness, loss of limbs, stroke, etc. It's well worth the effort! good luck. Lgromkomd.

It varies: The higher the average sugar over time, the higher the risk of developing complications like kidney failure. Other factors affecting this are blood pressure control & genetic predisposition. Both 250 and 500 are far too high. Try to get fasting sugars below 130; it's where you keep them over the long haul that matters most.

Both: They are both right. It will eventually lead to kidney failure and go on dialysis.
