Extremely dangerous: A blood glucose level this high could be very dangerous, and it could send you into a state called diabetic ketoacidosis
with a blood glucose level this high, one should see immediate medical attention, most likely in an emergency room.

Needs education: Someone expert needed to show you practically and ask you to do it in front of him/her. Attending diabetic classes with education is very helpful. Also machines are different and education on each of those can be different.

Best advice is to: Form a plan with a doctor and dietician: diet, exercise, and medication. Not a do-it-yourself project.
