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?
Diabetic Maculopathy is damage to the retina of the eye from high blood sugar. Maculopathy can be partly repaired with laser operations, but as long as blood sugar remains high, this damage continues and the retina will deteriorate. The way the damage happens is still being studied, but involves glucose in the blood oxidizing the fine tissues of the capillary walls. This problem affects not only the retina but also the small capillaries in the fingers and toes, causing Diabetic Neuropathy, and the glomuleri of the kidneys, causing Diabetic Nephropathy.
