About Diabetic Coma

A diabetic coma can happen when your blood sugar reaches 600 mg per liter or more causing you to become more dehydrated. The condition usually affects with type 2 diabetes that is not controlled. It is common among those that are elderly, chronically ill, and disabled.

Etiology of Diabetic Coma

Blood sugar that is either too high or too low for too long may cause various serious conditions, all of which can lead to a diabetic coma.

1. Diabetic ketoacidosis – If your muscle cells become too starved for energy, the body may respond be breaking down its fat deposits. The process creates toxic acids that are known as ketones. When left untreated, leads to a diabetic coma.
2. Diabetic Hyperosmolar Syndrome – When your blood glucose reaches 600 mg/dl, it results in the condition known as diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome. If left untreated, this can lead to a life threatening dehydration and a diabetic coma.
3. Hypoglycemia – In very severe cases, having low blood sugar can cause you to lose consciousness.

Risk Factors

Anyone suffering from diabetes may be at risk of having a diabetic coma. Additional risk factors include:

1. Insulin delivery Issues – If you are on insulin pump, you need to have your blood sugar checked more frequently.
2. Illness, Surgery or Trauma — When you’re sick or injured blood sugar levels begin to rise, sometimes too fast.
3. Poorly Controlled Diabetes – If you are not monitoring your blood sugar properly or taking your medications as prescribed.
4. Intentionally Skipping Meals or Insulin — A dangerous, life-threatening habit that increases the likelihood of developing a diabetic coma.
5. Drinking Alcohol – Alcohol can have unpredictable effects on your blood sugar.
6. Use of Illicit Drugs — Prohibited drugs like cocaine and ecstasy can increase your risk of having high blood glucose.
