What should I do if my blood sugar is in the 15s with diabetes?

Patient's question:

I went to check my blood sugar levels a few days ago, but I am a diabetic, and my current blood sugar is in the 15s. What should I do? What is the normal range for blood sugar levels for people with diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

If the fasting blood sugar is 15, it indicates that the current blood sugar control is very poor. Therefore, in this situation, it is necessary to actively re-adjust the blood sugar control. It is recommended to pay attention to actively controlling diet, avoiding sweet foods, controlling the intake of staple foods, and engaging in appropriate physical activity. Then, decide on the use of hypoglycemic medications. If the hypoglycemic medication is not effective, it may be necessary to use insulin in combination for treatment.
