Until then, I am to take my sugar four times a day to give my endocrinologist an idea of what my sugars run. Herein lies the problem, it s the weekend, and my sugar is now 248! What can d to bring it down?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Blood glucose level with 248 mg/DL is definitely high. However, you need to take medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow necessary recommended diet and exercise along with it. Kindly monitor the blood glucose as suggested by your doctor and disclose the values when you consult him. Based on the response to the medications which you are already taking, you will be put on insulin and its dose will be adjusted accordingly. Hope the information provided helps. All the best.
