question: My 75 year old mother stopped taking her blood sugar medicine, unbeknownst to me, about 6 months ago. She began having balance issues and falling. Finally got her to a doctor yesterday and they instructed her to monitor her fasting blood sugar levels for a week, then come back for a medication. Today, her fasting blood sugar level was 352. Should she call in to the doctor sooner than a week? Does she need to be seen today (Saturday?) Thanks
