Waiting On Insurance Approval For Meds

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

My A1C is 14.3 and my glucose was 301 on the bloodwork ordered by my doctor. I've been feeling sick for some time. It's blowing my mind that I have to wait for insurance approval. It's been almost a week. I've been barely functioning for so long, I just want to start treatment to feel better. I don't know if theses numbers indicate if I should go to the ER?

I really hope you went. I’ve been in and out of the ER due to DKA. It’s awful! Please get help.

Go to the emergency room so you can get help. So you can get some insulin so you can bring your sugar down. That is very high

I've been debating about heading to the ER. I don't think I can wait any longer.

300 sure is ER numbers - they should be able to get you on some insulin to bring it down

You are at high risk for something called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) at those levels and ER should treat to reduce that risk
