A blood sugar reading of 510 mg/dL is critically high and requires urgent medical evaluation. The spike is likely due to the steroid methylprednisolone (Predmet) and budesonide (Budecort) inhalers, combined with her transition from stronger medications (Gluconorm G and Istamet) to metformin alone. Since she is experiencing fatigue, please take her to an emergency care facility or contact her endocrinologist immediately to adjust her insulin or diabetes therapy. Do not stop or alter her steroid taper without her doctor's guidance. Ensure she drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated right now.
