  1. Hi . Those numbers are on the high side. I see why you are concerned. Unfortunately, we are not medical experts, so we can't be of much help. Are you taking medication now? You might simply need an increase in your medication. Have you made many dietary and lifestyle changes since you were diagnosed? If you can't get an appointment with your doctor soon, maybe you can message your doctor with your readings. That might get you in a little sooner. I wish I had better answers for you. Please let us know what your doctor says if you don't mind. Warmly, Lori (Team Member(
