Diabetic emergencies
Diabetic emergencies: Diabetics may experience life-threatening emergencies from too much or too little insulin in their bodies. A diabetic emergency occurs when diabetes symptoms have overwhelmed the body. Some symptoms of diabetic emergencies, such as fruity breath, seem harmless, but they are signs that the bodys sugar is very high. Too much insulin can cause a low sugar level (hypoglycemia), which can lead to insulin shock. Not enough insulin can cause a high level of sugar (hyperglycemia), which can cause a diabetic coma.
Not all diabetic emergencies can be prevented. Diabetes is a chronic illness, and as it progresses, it can become harder to manage. However, a number of strategies can reduce the risk of a diabetic emergency. These include:
1. Eating healthful, balanced, regular meals.
2. Not drinking too many alcoholic or sugary drinks.
3. Promptly treating signs of infection or illness.
4. Taking medications exactly as prescribed.
