Question:

My dad who is 57 years old has a sugar count of 259, how dengerous is that?


Answers:

Its high and it needs treatment but it is not life threatening in the short term. If he is not a diabetic he needs to be tested and if he is already diagnosed he needs to discuss his control/diet and exercise regime with a health care professional. Long term high blood glucose is damaging to many areas of the body and can cause lots of complications.
Get him to see a doctor/health care professional ASAP
