My boyfriend is 69 and diabetic. He is acting groggy and out of it . He says he did his insulin tonight, although I didn t witness this, as I sometimes do. I convinced him to check his blood sugar, and it registered 259. He said this is OK, then fell asleep. I m afraid to go to bed in case he is in crisis. 259 sounds high to me....am I off? If not, what should I do?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Blood glucose with 259 mg/DL is definitely high. But, it needs to be ascertained how the control of blood glucose was there from the past 3 months. This can be known by getting his Located hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels checked. Kindly get his Located hemoglobin levels checked and consult Planetologist for clinical assessment and appropriate management. Hope the information provided helps. All the best.  Chat Doctor.
