Hey Janine,
I checked your profile and you've been a little all over the place, but not getting many answers, mainly because everyone you contact directly's been asleep or at work, or you posted under other topics where your questions kind of drowned. The forum is a little tricky to navigate sometimes, sorry.
Those numbers are very high, and you don't know what type you are yet. Honestly, honey, this isn't the time to spare anyone's feelings or try to keep them from worrying. You should not be going through this alone.
Tell them. Especially because you don't know
why your bloodsugars are running high. T2, T1, anyone's guess. You're about to help your child move in the morning, and if something goes wrong,
they won't know what to do. I am aware you want to help with the move, and we can tell you to go to the doc's (or a walk-in, or anywhere where you're seen this very day), and you'll feel like you're letting people down if you do, rather than help your daughter. You're not letting anyone down, you just need to be seen. Rather urgently.
That said, none of us here can diagnose, but for the moment, and I'll probably get in a little trouble because of this, but heck: Keep the carbs to a minimum. Bloodsugars go up because of the carbs a person eats. It's not just sugars, it's starches too. That means taco's are a no no! No bread, corn, potatoes, cereal, pasta, rice, fruit, anything wheat based... Things that won't make your bloodsugar skyrocket, as I'm hoping and praying right now that you're a T2, are meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, leafy greens, above ground veggies, full fat greek yoghurt, olives, pork scratchings, that sort of thing. Those are safe for you to eat if they're not breaded or anything. I know with a move -as I'm pretty sure you're going to go through with it no matter what we tell you- it's usually getting something delivered, but whatever you do, do NOT touch a pizza or taco's. Just go for the salad option! Have a double if need be (if they only serve those tiny little side salads rather than the meal-worthy ones). Go for mayo as dressing rather than honey-mustard or anything else sugar laden. And in the morning, before you head out, just have eggs with bacon and maybe high meat content sausages for breakfast. No "healthy" smoothies, no bread or cereal. If you eat fatty food without a load of carbs, you'll still feel full and your bloodsugars won't go all too high. (Considering their starting point).
When/if you have a little more time, read these things:
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/ , which is my own little quick-start guide for T2's, and
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.26870/ It's all mainly geared towards T2's, but if you should be an untreated T1, this advice should help you with your bloodsugars as well. Not as good as proper care, but it's a patch-up job until you see someone.
Please take care of yourself. And don't do this alone. I don't know if you don't want to worry people or whether you feel ashamed or something... But diabetes is a genetic issue, unless it's brought on by medication use or similar, which is never ever the person's fault. If you're overweight, which a lot of T2's are, it is a symptom of the disease, not a cause, and if you don't know it's the carbs causing the problem, you follow the usual low-fat advice, which is exactly wrong for a T2. So please, whatever your reason to keep this hidden... You want them to know. Really. It's a scary time, and me, I don't know how I would've gotten through it if it hadn't been for my husband and my family and friends' support.
I hope to read you again soon. Take care of yourself.
Hugs,
Jo
