I suddenly have symptoms of high blood sugar, and my test today shows 384 mg/dL. What should I do?
A blood sugar level of 384 mg/dL is dangerously high. It can lead to serious complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, especially if you have symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, or confusion. You should seek urgent medical attention immediately by contacting your doctor or going to the emergency room. Do not attempt to lower your blood sugar on your own with home remedies. While waiting for care, drink water to stay hydrated, but avoid sugary foods or drinks. A healthcare professional can evaluate your condition, check for complications, and provide appropriate treatment, such as insulin or other medical management, to safely lower your blood sugar.
