By Mayo Clinic staffTo prevent diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome, keep an eye on your blood sugar level. Ask your doctor how often to check your blood sugar level — and what to do if your blood sugar level is too high. Sometimes high blood sugar can be treated at home by exercising, eating less or taking medication as directed. In other cases, you may need your doctor's help to safely lower your blood sugar.
