Once my brother, who is diabetic, had a sugar level of 500 and the doctor told him he could go into a coma from sugar that high. With a sugar level that high I would see a doctor immediately.
If you are not diabetic (i.e. being prone to high blood sugar levels) and you take diabetic meds, your blood sugar can drop. This can lead to coma & death. It is equivalent to over-dosing on insulin.
as a diabetic on metformin, what high number should i consider going to the hospital
This means that you high blood sugar levels that are considered to be high, but not high enough that you have full blown diabetes. You will need to monitor this carefully.
If you're diabetic already, it's not too bad. If you're wondering if you're diabetic, it's definitely on the high side and you should have yourself checked -- you could be borderline or pre-diabetic.

I am a type 2 diabetic my problem is my blood sugar is high when I wake up in the morning, how can I correct it?
A person may go into a diabetic coma if their blood sugar levels become dangerously high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia). This can happen due to factors such as not taking insulin or medication as prescribed, consuming excessive amounts of sugar, or experiencing illness or stress that affects blood sugar levels. A diabetic coma is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.
