You said almost a week ago your doctor said your blood sugar was 478. I believe most people are hospitalized with blood sugar at lower levels than that. And he just sent you home with no directions or instructions on handling your health problem?

Yes, I understand you have to wait to see an endocrinologist or internal medicine specialist, but there are many places to help get you started well before that. Contact the hospital your doctor works with, chances are you can see a diabetes nurse or practioner today or tomorrow. They can at least get you started on dietary advice, proper testing procedures, etc., and possibly at least start you on medication.

Don’t wait, my friend, you are the one who’s health is in the line!
