His fasting blood sugar is 256 and postprandial is 432. This was found during a routine checkup. All nearby doctors are fully booked, and the earliest appointment we could get is on the 4th. Is there anything we can do in the meantime?

I had a postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) test 2 hours after a meal, and the result was 250. Can you explain why this level is high? Also, can I take fish oil (Omega 3) for cholesterol management?
