View allI just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?
If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.

I'm a bit worried about my mom since she's diabetic. If she ever needs it, can she take ORS safely without any issues? With everything so uncertain these days, I'm just trying to be cautious.
Yes, it is generally safe for your mother to take ORS if needed, as it helps to rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes. However, since she is diabetic, it's important to choose an ORS with low sugar content and monitor her blood sugar levels closely during use. Always consult her doctor for personalized advice.
