Hi Ash, with a level that high and the constant urination, you need to see a Doctor as soon as possible. You say you are type 2 but either way, this is an extremely high level.

It'd be a good idea to visit a doctor today.

Call your GP, or if you can't get through, try dialing NHS 111 for advice. If you suspect you may be developing DKA go to A and E. At age 27, you might actually be a misdiagnosed type 1 (it can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes).

Info about DKA:- https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetic-ketoacidosis/

I agree with the others. Let's not beat about the bush here - if it's misdiagnosed T1, untreated DKA will kill. Get emergency treatment as soon as possible as in today.

I hope you managed to get a GP appointment
meanwhile, a lot of fruit is very high in sugar - I only eat one portion a day, of berries as they are much lower than others, bananas are probably the worst
all veg contains some carbs but green veg/cauliflower, etc are low, things like root veg, butternet and tomatoes are higher
and cow's milk includes a sugar (lactose)

so you might be eating more than you think?
