My mother is currently taking Insugen 30/70 (24 units in the morning and 18 units in the evening). Today, her blood sugar level spiked to 478 mg/dL. What steps should I take?

A blood sugar level of 478 mg/dL is dangerously high and needs urgent medical attention. Since your mother is already using Insugen 30/70, do not change the insulin dose on your own. Please contact her diabetologist or take her to the nearest hospital or emergency department as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment. Keep her hydrated with plain water and avoid sugary foods or drinks. Seek immediate care if she has vomiting, confusion, difficulty breathing, severe weakness, or drowsiness.
