Answer
Sheetal,

With blood glucose levels approaching 300 you will need to be under the care of a doctor.  That is dangerous and there are many ill effects of persistent high sugar levels.  You need to have a HbA1c performed to measure average blood glucose control.  Pills and maybe even insulin shots may be necessary... Depending on how much insulin your pancreas produces you may or may not need insulin, but a doctor will have to run the proper tests.  Metformin (Glucophage) is a great drug for controlling diabetes and has many health benefits.  You can read my article on Metformin at the following link:

Good luck with your DM and please follow up with your local doctor.
