Hi It has been awhile since I have been here but I need some help . For the past 2 days I have felt like poop. I am so tired I can't hardly keep my eyes open I mean literally. I can not keep my eyes open. So this morning I decided to check my levels. This was 5 hours after I got up. I get up at 4:00 am every morning anyway I have not eaten anything yet or drank anything, my glucose level is 424. My face is all tingley and it feels like all I want to do is sleep. IF level does not go down I'm calling hubby home from work and going to the dr. I know level is way too high but is it dangerously high, I always heard that is in the 600's please I really need some help here. I am on insulin novolog 70 30 and lantus I am really despert here. thanks any imput would be greatly appreciated

Personally I would call your doctor for some definite advice as soon as you can. I'm no expert but 424 sounds extremely high and would seem to suggest something is not right.
took my shots again the lowest it got yesterday was 313. I do not believe the insulin is working and no it is not my diet either. I am very careful on that. I watch everything. I have not yet checked it this morning, but will be very shortly . I have no idea what today will bring.
If you are running that high, and for a while, it's no wonder that you feel bad. If you can't get in to see your doctor, I would suggest that you go to emerg. The tiredness you are feeling could be due to an electrolyte imbalance, or dehydration. Does your doc have you on a sliding scale to take more insulin when you are this high?
I agree. If you have taken your insulin and your fasting BG is that high, you need to call your doctor. You may need an adjustment in what you're on or you may need to also use a fast acting insulin. Or the increase could be caused by something like illness or increased stress. Mine gets up there like that sometimes too and I understand the feeling you described. I hope you find the cause and feel better soon. Hugs!
