[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1530090, member: 6467"] Looks like diabetic numbers. HbA1c to confirm, obviously. I think high BG with no ketones is probably not A&E as ketoacidosis is the real emergency condition but you should consider ringing NHS Direct. They are very good over the phone (dealt with them when a friend had a dizzy spell from low blood pressure) and they can tell you what to do. I assume that he is not eating carbohydrate or sugar laden food for the moment but eating and drinking normally. We can't really tell you what to do because we are not medical professionals. [/QUOTE]
