>>His blood sugar level was very high – 779 – when he arrived at the hospital and remains at more than 300, she said. (Anything above 186 is considered dangerously high.)
Friend of mine found out the hard way he had diabetes—went into shock day after Easter and got a 600. Part of high risk group, being black; very overweight, family history (mother had it), almost 40 y.o. He was told one thing that saved him was the fact he didn’t smoke or drink. He uses insulin tho is still overweight but prob has it in control.
