Am on maximum insulin for my weight so it is a diet thing now but I really am eating so liitle now it is crazy so I really was wondering if it takes a long time for my body to get rid of all the stored sugar?

Thanks for the replies guys I really appreciate it.
No. You are not correct. The body doesn't store sugar as sugar (glucose). It stores it in other chemical forms, such as glycogen, that can be converted back to glucose. You should get your numbers back to regular as soon as you can. Running high for so long it is likely that you will feel "low" while in a normal range. So it may take time to good again in normal range, but their is no excuse not to get back into normal range asap.
