His blood sugar was so high the doctor could not get an accurate reading.

Answer 1

This is something that you should be consulting a doctor about. I can't see where someone on here would qualify to answer this question (unless they are a doctor). I am sorry about your brother. My prayers go out to you.

Correct spelling for this word: Hyperglycemia.
When a blood glucose level goes high (over 700 and higher you have the possibility of experiencing a coma. You can also experience one from to low of a blood sugar, hypoglycemia.
Some people have diabetes for years and do not even know they have it until their fasting blood sugar is checked.
Either way, with proper treatment, your brother will and can come out of a coma. Once he receives enough insulin, his body will stabilize.

A couple of helpful tips: Drinking alcohol is a no-no for a diabetic. This will increase the level of his blood glucose and can cause a diabetic coma, because alcohol turns to sugar in the blood stream, very, very harmful for diabetics.

The doctors have a specific guide they use for various levels of hyperglycemia and once that is used, after a day or so, your brother will be okay.

Bless your heart, I know you are worried. What type of diabetes does he have? If he is young and has Type I, he has to be very careful. A lot of juvenile diabetes is hard to treat because it's so easy to go off your diet. Most people with Type I diabetes have been given insulin pumps that they can push when they feel they need the extra dose of insulin. Have him discuss with his doctor if that is the case. Of course, all of us who have diabetes, whether Type I or II have to follow a proper diet as instructed by the American Diabetes Association. It might benefit him to have a nutritionist help him with a proper diet once his blood glucose level is under control. They are usually available in the hospital and his doctor can make that decision for a healthy life for your brother.

Best wishes to you. If he has type I diabetes, you need to get yourself checked as well. Either way, get yourself checked if you haven't already done so.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

it's hard to answer such a question from a distance.It's only diabetes or has he other ilnesses?
I've seen and treated many diabetic hyperglycaemic comas that resolved, and the patient was well after that. If diabetes is the only cause, this type of coma can be treated nowadays. The prognosis is not so good in people who also have other health problems that contribute to his comatose state.
