I've seen a: Glucose as high as 2, 500 in someone who survived the episode. After your glucose reaches 400, it can go up very quickly due to dehydration -- so 3000 would be potentially possible. Hopefully you're not trying to set a record.........

See doctor : Are you a diabetic? See your doctor immediately to verify these results. Normal blood sugar is less than 120 at a random check. Blood sugar that high is very dangerous and can lead to life-threatening complications.
