Urgent symptoms

Clear, practical information for your next step.

Topics to discuss

  • Very high blood sugar with vomiting, fast or deep breathing, or confusion
  • Low blood sugar that does not improve after fast-acting sugar, or fainting
  • Severe belly pain or vomiting that will not stop while on a weight-loss medicine
  • A fast-growing lump in the neck with trouble breathing or swallowing
  • Sudden loss of vision
  • A foot wound, spreading redness, or a black area on the foot, especially with fever, if you have diabetes
  • If you have any of these, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Choosing the next step

Use the warning signs above to decide when emergency help is needed. This page cannot check your symptoms or tell you that it is safe to wait. If symptoms are severe, sudden, or getting worse quickly, seek urgent medical help. A routine appointment request is not an emergency service, and a message may not be read right away.

For a life-threatening emergency, call 911. Do not drive yourself if you feel faint, confused, or unable to travel safely. If possible, have someone stay with you while help arrives. Bring your medicine list and allergy information if they are easy to reach, but do not delay emergency care to collect records.
