[QUOTE="Jayderb, post: 2025573, member: 497684"] My numbers were as high as yours on my initial diagnosis and due to this I was kept overnight as the risk of Diabetic Keto Acidosis is very high with those levels of BG readings. I was subsequently hooked up to IV insuling and IV fluids and monitored every hour. I was discharged 18 hours later with a prescription of lantus and strict instructions to return to A&E if my numbers hit 17mmol and above. As Jim mentioned, I found out later through tests carried out during my admission that I was insulin deficient and my initial diagnosis was type one. I had gone through a period of extreme stress and stress eating. Further tests later showed that I was producing insulin so your case might be similar. Please seek medical attention, you might not need to go to A&E but it's worth talking to someone and maybe having further tests beyond what the home monitor can provide [/QUOTE]
