1. diabetic coma

   A diabetic coma is a life-threatening medical emergency that arises as a complication of diabetes. It happens when the body's blood sugar levels become critically high (hyperglycemia) or dangerously low (hypoglycemia). This imbalance can affect the functioning of the brain and lead to unconsciousness or prolonged deep, unresponsive unconsciousness (coma). If left untreated, a diabetic coma can be fatal.

1. Diabetic coma

   Diabetic coma is a reversible form of coma found in people with diabetes mellitus. It is a medical emergency. Three different types of diabetic coma are identified: ⁕Severe diabetic hypoglycemia ⁕Diabetic ketoacidosis advanced enough to result in unconsciousness from a combination of severe hyperglycemia, dehydration and shock, and exhaustion ⁕Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma in which extreme hyperglycemia and dehydration alone are sufficient to cause unconsciousness. 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 he has diabetes. An example might be a physician working in an emergency department who receives an unconscious patient wearing a medical identification tag saying DIABETIC. Paramedics may be called to rescue an unconscious person by friends who identify him as diabetic. Brief descriptions of the three major conditions are followed by a discussion of the diagnostic process used to distinguish among them, as well as a few other conditions which must be considered. An estimated 2 to 15 percent of diabetics will suffer from at least one episode of diabetic coma in their lifetimes as a result of severe hypoglycemia.
