We cannot give medical advice, so I'd take a look at the Diabetes UK website.

I take it you are diabetic if you are able to test your father's blood.
My husband's levels were that high when he first got diagnosed. Change of diet needed urgently and medication.

This gives details of blood glucose levels for non-diabetics and for the 2 types of diabetes. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html

There's a lot of information out there - try DiabetesUK - but your Dad's first stop should be his GP.

A look at his basic lifestyle would also be a good idea. What does he eat/drink etc.
