Thank you for your replyHi @billmoira
I have occasionally has bloods that high before. And it is a horrible feeling.
These are the symptoms I experienced when I got them - total weakness throughout my whole body and severe lethargy, I felt sick and really thirsty. And the main symptom I get which is a give away for an abnormal high is a really strange feeling in my nose and face.
I agree with the above comment tho, as a type1 I would inject myself wit insulin to bring it down.
If it's persistently that high for you, you should seek medical advice before u get poorly.
Hope it comes down for you

@billmoira I know when I was that high I wondered whst all the fuss was about.Hi please can someone tell how they feel when there blood sugar levels are 25 or 28 thanks
Thank you@billmoira I know when I was that high I wondered whst all the fuss was about.
I walked around and was as active as normal. Did my shopping and worked long shifts at work.
BUT.....
your body hasnt just reached that high over night. Because your body has managed to get used to those high numbers thirst and occasional sleeping wipe outs was all I experienced.
However the damage to your system is sometimes irreversible.
Do something NOW.
if these high sugars damage your eyes would you be hapoy to live permanently that way?
Myself I was craving sugary foods too.
The only solution is medical intervention and reduced carbs. Sugary ones first, then pasta, bread and potatoes. Reduction will help, a lot.
If your hungry nibble on salad finger foods and have a pan of cooked veg at the ready.
Give it a go. Good luck. Give yourself a chance to get those dangerous numbers down.
Any blood glucose level higher than 7.8 can cause damage.

No have been fine for refusing. ThanksWhat was your blood sugar before you got in the car? Did your hyperglycaemia come on suddenly?
With blood sugar that high, I would be feeling ill and would have blurry vision.
Did you manage to take the breath test ok?
Appeal and get gp to write a letter as to what hyperglycemia does to breathlessness. On occasion I was very breathless. I put it down to being overweight but maybe hypers give you that too.No have been fine for refusing. Thanks
No have been fine for refusing. Thanks
I had paramedic come to me and did not put my suger level in there reportHave you got some legal advice? Will that fine be the end of it?
I ask because I'm not sure it's that easy to prove you were physically unable to give a blood test. Did the police do a blood test instead?

Did they use their own meter? Would there be a record of the result there or elsewhere? Was that how you knew you were hyperglycaemic or had you tested your own blood sugar when you pulled over?
Even if the paramedics didn't record it, wouldn't the police have entered it in their notes?
