• #4 Diabetic coma – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_coma

  Diabetic coma is a life-threatening but reversible form of coma found in people with diabetes mellitus. […] In most medical contexts, the term diabetic coma refers to the diagnostical dilemma posed when a physician is confronted with an unconscious patient about whom nothing is known except that they have diabetes. […] The diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis is usually suspected from the appearance and a history of 12 days of vomiting. The diagnosis is confirmed when the usual blood chemistries in the emergency department reveal a high blood sugar level and severe metabolic acidosis. […] The diagnosis is usually discovered when a chemistry screen performed because of obtundation reveals an extremely high blood sugar level (often above 1800 mg/dl (100 mM)) and dehydration. […] Diabetic coma was a more significant diagnostic problem before the late 1970s, when glucose meters and rapid blood chemistry analyzers were not available in all hospitals. In modern medical practice, it rarely takes more than a few questions, a quick look, and a glucose meter to determine the cause of unconsciousness in a patient with diabetes. […] Treatment depends upon the underlying cause: Hypoglycemic diabetic coma: administration of the hormone glucagon to reverse the effects of insulin, or glucose given intravenously.

  Diabetic coma is a dangerous condition that can lead to unconsciousness and even death. Diabetic coma may affect 2% to 15% of all diabetics at least once in their lifetime and the condition that most commonly causes the coma is severe hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar. […] There are three main causes of coma in people with diabetes: diabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state. However, despite the increased prevalence of diabetes across the globe, improved diagnosis and early treatment of these causative conditions has lessened the risk of death due to diabetic coma. […] A glucometer, for example, can detect high or low blood sugar in an unconscious diabetic patient within seconds and this can be confirmed in the laboratory within an hour. Furthermore, due to the widespread warnings and knowledge regarding the possibility of the three conditions, most patients are brought to an emergency unit before the onset of coma.

• #19 Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA): Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/118361-overview

  Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, major, life-threatening complication of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and ketonuria. […] Laboratory studies for DKA include glucose blood tests, serum electrolyte determinations, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) evaluation, and arterial blood gas (ABG) measurements. […] DKA is defined clinically as an acute state of severe uncontrolled diabetes associated with ketoacidosis that requires emergency treatment with insulin and intravenous fluids. […] Biochemically, DKA is defined as an increase in the serum concentration of ketones greater than 5 mEq/L, a blood sugar level greater than 250 mg/dL (although it is usually much higher), and a blood (usually arterial) pH less than 7.3. […] Mental status changes can be seen with mild-to-moderate DKA; more severe deterioration in mental status is typical with moderate-to-severe DKA.

• #20 Diabetic ketoacidosis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

  Diabetic ketoacidosis may be diagnosed when the combination of hyperglycemia (high blood sugars), ketones in the blood or on urinalysis and acidosis are demonstrated. […] In about 10% of cases the blood sugar is not significantly elevated („euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis”). […] A pH measurement is performed to detect acidosis. Blood from a vein is adequate, as there is little difference between the arterial and the venous pH; arterial samples are only required if there are concerns about oxygen levels. […] Diabetic ketoacidosis is distinguished from other diabetic emergencies by the presence of large amounts of ketones in blood and urine, and marked metabolic acidosis. […] The American Diabetes Association categorizes DKA in adults into one of three stages of severity: Mild: blood pH mildly decreased to between 7.25 and 7.30 (normal 7.35-7.45); serum bicarbonate decreased to 15-18 mmol/L (normal above 20); the person is alert. […] Moderate: pH 7.00-7.25, bicarbonate 10-15, mild drowsiness may be present. […] Severe: pH below 7.00, bicarbonate below 10, stupor or coma may occur.

  Diabetic coma is the term used to describe a mental state change in people with diabetes from extreme fluctuations in blood sugar levels. […] Making the diagnosis of DKA requires blood tests. Sometimes high levels of ketones in the urine are also used to help make the diagnosis of DKA. […] Diagnosing DKA Requires: 1) Elevated Blood Glucose 250 mg dl 2) Elevated Ketones (betahydroxybutyrate or urine ketones) 3) Acidosis (blood pH 7.3) […] Diabetics with positive ketones should always be evaluated by a doctor to ensure they are not in diabetic ketoacidosis.

  Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state should be suspected in people who have diabetes and are ill. If either diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state is diagnosed, precipitating factors must be sought and treated. […] Diabetic ketoacidosis requires intravenous insulin administration (0.1 units/kg/h) for resolution. Bicarbonate therapy may be considered only for extreme acidosis (pH 7.0). […] DKA or HHS should be suspected whenever people have significant hyperglycemia, especially if they are ill or highly symptomatic.
