Scary bad. None of those numbers are anywhere close to low.
How dangerous? Well, they scare the heck out of me, and they're not even my numbers.
If you're diagnosed as type two, lemme know. I can help. If you're type one, learn all you can about insulin injections and stuff. Or, join http://tudiabetes.com/

My last article addresses the HbA1C test that gives you the percentage of glucose for the last 90 days. The numbers your are reporting are daily and can range wide. A HbA1C tells you more. See you doctor a get a complete blood work. Print off the chart on my blog and take it with you and discuss it meaning for you with your doctor.
Best Wishes.

This is as stated by the other posters very bad. This can lead to a condition called Diabetic Ketoacidosis and is life threatening. Get to your Dr. or emergency room asap, so they can bring it down. Here is a link to a page on my website to get more info.

538 is very dangerous. I hope your m.d. spent enough time teaching you how to control your blood glucose from now on, even 259 is very high!
