Sugar n covid

Mom (52) is covid positive and her sugar is 150/245 fbs/ppbs and hba1c 7.4 She has mild symptoms (mild cough and mild headache). Her spo2 is 98-99, pulse 105 and no fever (98.2 oral) I am very worried on her sugar levels, will these sugar level make her covid serious? Sugar rose only 1 month ago, before that it was in control. Please guide. Can we take insulin?
