E-mails to Christine (GlucoMenu® Nutrition Director) Christine is a Registered Dietitian & Certified Diabetes Educator E-mail your questions to Christine at:  nutrition@GlucoMenu.com 1/5/09 Q. I have been unfortunate not to have health insurance which does not allow me to purchase my medication needed to control my sugar levels.  My levels have been running between 475 to 575. I was recently treated in the emergency room with insulin but as of today it has gone back up again.  What can I do? A. Blood sugar levels this high are of great concern.  You should speak with your doctor as soon as possible about your blood sugar levels and options for medications.  This means in hours or days not weeks or months.
