The more critical question is: do you know why your blood sugar is at 24.5?

What does your dinner consist of?
I wouldn't add any more carbs to that high reading, but what about eating eggs, cheese, meat, things like that?

Can you test for ketones?
If it doesn't come down shortly I'd call 111 for advice.

What have you eaten earlier today?

If it hasn't come down any further and 111 don't send you to hospital, I would get someone to take you to A&E. You have nothing to lose and would be a priority - one of the few benefits of diabetes! Do you find breathing laboured? Do your muscles feel generally "crampy"? If the answer to either is yes I wouldn't hesitate. Good luck

You really should seek professional advice on those numbers. Do you have a way to check for ketones..?
It wouldn't bust to call tripple one. There will be a health advisor on the other end of the line?

The legs? With high BGs like that, I can feel like I've cycled for my life. Or run a marathon..
So for me, high BGs can affect the legs.
