if you feel that you can't wait take your self to A+E they are very high readings for a non-diabetic...good luck!

hi im no expert but I would definatly go to a&e with high numbers you need to know you haven't got ketones because that could be dangerous, im not trying to frighten you im just saying better safe than sorry, good luck

Thanks for that.I am a bit worried as to any damage because of the wait and it being so high.
