  A diabetic coma is a medical emergency. It can lead to brain damage or death if you dont get treatment. […] Treating hyperglycemia requires intravenous fluids to improve fluid levels throughout your body. You may also receive insulin to help your cells absorb the extra circulating glucose. If your sodium, potassium, or phosphate levels are low, you may get supplements to help bring them up to healthy levels. The treatment will be similar for DKA. […] A glucagon injection will help increase your blood sugar levels if youre experiencing hypoglycemia. […] Once your blood glucose levels are in a healthy range, you should start to feel better almost immediately. If youve been unconscious, you should come around soon after treatment begins.

Your doctor may recommend that you wear a medical identification bracelet that explains the nature of your diabetes and other health concerns. This may help ensure you get the proper treatment for future problems quickly.

  A diabetic coma is a dangerous condition that can happen if your blood sugar becomes very high (hyperglycemia) or very low (hypoglycemia) and remains untreated. A coma is a prolonged period of unconsciousness. If you’re in a coma, you don’t respond to any stimulation, such as being touched or spoken to. Fortunately, getting prompt treatment can reverse a diabetic coma. […] Diabetic coma is a life-threatening condition. The causes of diabetic coma can result in potentially fatal poisoning of the blood and organ failure. If not treated promptly, diabetic coma can result in permanent brain damage and death. […] If you suspect that someone has gone into a diabetic coma, call 911 or the emergency services number in your area immediately. The operator may give you instructions on what to do. Even though low blood sugar may be the cause, don’t try to remedy the problem by giving the person glucose in any form (such as juice), which could cause choking. Turn the person on their side in case they vomit.

  All incidents of Diabetic Coma should be evaluated by a trained medical professional, as soon as possible! DO NOT wait! Failure to obtain evaluation as soon as possible may result in serious injury or death. Call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately, if you undergo a Diabetic Coma. […] The condition is a medical emergency and prompt treatment is important. […] First Aid tips for Diabetic Coma: Call 911 or your local emergency help number immediately, for emergency assistance. […] The first responders (healthcare personnel) may administer 1 mg of glucagon, in case of hypoglycemia (or low blood sugar levels). […] First Aid is generally administered by healthcare workers at the emergency room. […] The prognosis of Diabetic Coma is dependent on the following factors: How high the blood sugar level was, how long the condition persisted, and the timely manner in which treatment was administered.

  A diabetic coma is a medical emergency wherein an individual will lose consciousness as a result of an imbalance in their insulin and glucose levels. […] Diabetic comas are medical emergencies, and require immediate medical attention. If someone you love is in a diabetic coma, do not try to wake them up on your own or wait for them to naturally come out of the coma. The only way to come out of a diabetic coma is to return blood glucose levels to a healthy range, which can only be done by a medical professional. […] Individuals who receive professional medical treatment for their diabetic coma typically make full recoveries. Because treatment involves the restoration of blood glucose levels to their normal range, individuals usually begin to feel better immediately after treatment, and tend to wake up from their diabetic comas shortly after treatment begins.

  Diabetic coma is a condition that poses a dangerous threat to individuals with diabetes. Treatment is more effective the earlier it is started but depends on the cause of the coma as this defines which type of diabetic coma a patient has. […] Therefore, when a diabetic patient is unconscious, the first action taken is blood sugar testing. If the cause is hypoglycemia, treatment is aimed at raising the blood sugar levels, whereas it is aimed at reducing the blood sugar with either of the other two conditions. […] Glucagon may be administered to treat hypoglycemia. In healthy individuals, a fall in blood sugar is compensated for by the release of glucagon, which increases blood sugar levels. However, in the diabetic individual, this reaction fails to occur and exogenous glucagon needs to be administered. As an immediate measure, glucose rich foods such as glucose biscuits may be eaten or an injection of glucose solution may be administered.

  Fifty patients in diabetic coma or precoma, 33 of whom had previously received insulin and had circulating insulin antibodies, were studied during treatment with a low-dose intramuscular insulin regime. […] The initial mean serum free insulin concentration in the group of patients without insulin antibodies was 9 mU/l, 1 to 2 hours after intramuscular therapy it had risen to 22 mU/l, and after 7 to 8 hours to 73 mU/l. […] The corresponding concentrations for the group with insulin antibodies were 13, 23 and 74 mU/l. […] No relationship was found between the concentrations of serum free insulin attained and the age of the patients, their initial degree of acidosis, dehydration, and systolic blood pressure, the insulin antibody characteristics of their sera, nor the rate of decline of the blood glucose.

  Diabetic coma is a condition that poses a dangerous threat to individuals with diabetes. Treatment is more effective the earlier it is started but depends on the cause of the coma as this defines which type of diabetic coma a patient has. […] Therefore, when a diabetic patient is unconscious, the first action taken is blood sugar testing. If the cause is hypoglycemia, treatment is aimed at raising the blood sugar levels, whereas it is aimed at reducing the blood sugar with either of the other two conditions. […] Glucagon may be administered to treat hypoglycemia. In healthy individuals, a fall in blood sugar is compensated for by the release of glucagon, which increases blood sugar levels. However, in the diabetic individual, this reaction fails to occur and exogenous glucagon needs to be administered. As an immediate measure, glucose rich foods such as glucose biscuits may be eaten or an injection of glucose solution may be administered.
