What is the highest ever recorded blood sugar?

I found this on menshealth.about.com.

Michael Dougherty at 12 years old in November 1995 was found to have a blood sugar level of 2,350 (131 mg/L) and was still conscious. The normal blood sugar range is between 80-120 (4-7).

Actually my uncle just recently sept. of 2009, Frank James in Ca, was admitted with blood sugar level of 3,456. The nurse said, “I have been a nurse for 21 years, and never in my life have I seen blood sugar level so high, and I remember the exact number cause it was 3 4 5 6.”

My husband’s was diagnosed as 1,879.He was near coma level but made a full recovery within 3 to 4 days.This is when we found out he had Type 1 diabetes.

how? my reading at diagnosis was 30.3, the medical professionals had never seen readings so high before. I find a reading of 131mmol quite hard to believe considering how ill I was.

my ketones were well above the dangerous level of 3, at 6.2 my body was cannablising itself for fuel - I can’t even imagine what they would be at if my BG level was 131.

congrats to michael for being alive with such readings. does anyone know if he is still alive?

My husband’s was diagnosed 1700 he drove himself to the hospital

I was diagnosed with 1600, the doctors said I should have been dead. I wonder if anyone can beat that?

I was diagnosed at 1728.went into a coma that night for 3 days
