Help my sugar is 25.5 what should I do??

Which insulin are you on?

Do you know about correction doses?
 
No don't go to A&E until you've given a correction dose and see if that works, drink a lot of water, that helps too. If it doesn't come down at all or rises more in 90 mins/2 hours, then call out of hours.
 
Test every hour at that level and take a correction as someone else mentioned. What are you at now? Do you have a bug or anything?
 
Mine was 20 an hour ago. Took 2.5 novo rapid and its 10.0 now. May be best to try and do a correction dosage before worrying too mich
 
Thanks for all your comments I ended up in hospital had high levels of ketones in the bloodstream so they gave me insulin therapy. On the mend now :-)
 
Hi. Glad you got some help. What insulin regime are you on? If you are on mixed do ask to be changed to Basal/Bolus which gives better control. Do seek ongoing guidance from your DN with regard to getting the insulins right and doing carb-counting if your aren't already.
