Yes. A blood sugar reading of 380 mg/dL is very high and dangerous. It suggests uncontrolled diabetes. Since you are young (24 years) and have weight loss, this could be Type 1 diabetes or severe uncontrolled diabetes and needs urgent medical evaluation.

Next Steps
1. See a doctor / hospital urgently (today).
2. Get tests done:
• Fasting & Post-prandial blood sugar
• HbA1c
• Urine ketones
• Serum electrolytes (if possible)
3. Do NOT rely on diet alone at this level. Insulin may be required immediately.
4. Drink plenty of water until reviewed by a doctor.
Diet (temporary until doctor visit)
• Avoid: sugar, sweets, juices, soft drinks, rice, white bread, bakery items
• Eat:
• Vegetables (non-starchy)
• Dal, eggs, paneer, curd
• Small frequent meals
• Do not starve yourself.
Health Tips
• If you have vomiting, abdominal pain, excessive urination, extreme weakness, or drowsiness → go to emergency immediately (risk of diabetic ketoacidosis).
• Weight loss + very high sugar at young age is NOT normal and should not be delayed.
