How can high blood sugar levels be treated?
Patient: My husband has Type 2 diabetes and received a steroid injection yesterday and his blood sugars have been over 500 today.  He's having no problems with his eyesight, no frequent urination and he says he feels fine.  He has been battling a sinus infection since last week and that is why he received a steroid shot.  He doesn't want to call his doctor. Doctor: You should consult the doctor and good that a work up is done for any complications of hyperglycemia.Since you didn't mention his regular blood sugar levels, I would like to rule out complications. Some complications occur without much symptoms in people with diabetes.
