A diabetic emergency occurs when blood sugar levels become extremely high or dangerously low, leading to serious, life-threatening complications. Patients may experience symptoms such as confusion, sweating, weakness, rapid heartbeat, severe dehydration, vomiting, or loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is crucial to stabilize blood sugar, protect vital organs, and prevent coma or long-term damage.
Quick treatment with IV fluids, insulin, glucose correction, and continuous monitoring helps restore balance and prevent complications like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic crisis. With proper follow-up, medicine adjustment, diet control, and regular checkups, most patients recover safely and regain stable blood sugar levels.
