I just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?

If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.
