You could try the 111 line - but you might need 999.
Without details of your type and treatment is is difficult to advise further - drinking a couple of glasses of water might help in the meantime, but if you continue to feel worse in the next hour or so you should not be alone and might need the emergency services.

I agree with @Resurgam
I would add that you could also try washing your hands and try testing again to see if the meter gives you a number

You will probably get more useful replies if you fill in your profile, in particular what type of diabetes do you have and what treatment are you on. You will need to do this via a browser not the app.

Hi @Mumtosix ,

Welcome to the forum. I certainly agree with ringing 111.

Are you able to test for ketones?

What type & medications are you prescribed? (If any.)

Time to ring the NHS helpline.. The meter saying "HI" could be anything over 33Mmol? Which is not advisable.

Wishing you the best of luck.
