If my blood sugar was over 350 for more than a couple of days, I would first be on the phone to call my doctor. If it were a weekend, I would still call my doctor's office and talk to the doctor on call. But anything over 400 is an alarm for me. But I have insulin that I can take to help bring down a high number. Don't try and tough it out, you don't want DKA.

Generally, if I'm conscious, I can manage my BG. I guess if I fall out (low BG) I would go to the ER. Or, if I couldn't bring it up within a reasonable period of time. As far as high BG goes, I've never recorded anything above 350 & hope I don't. But, I'd make that decision based primarily on how I feel.
