Can you help me understand blood sugar levels?

January 2nd, 2009
The last few days I’ve dealt with an ill inmate and a supervisor that didn’t want to let me move the inmate to the medical unit. The blood sugar level readings when I was present were between 470 and 540. I know each individual is different, but is there a general rule of thumb for what is dangerous?
The medical department wasn’t too concerned, but the high levels combined with vomiting, lethargy, and slurred speech had me freaking out. The inmate was receiving insulin.
