Can you go into a diabetic coma, with high blood sugar? Mine is over 500.?

Answer 1

Yes, via ketoacidosis. Over 500 is not good. If you are a type I diabetic, use insulin to knock it down. If you are not, see a doctor sooner rather than later.

Answer 8

Yes and no; the terminology is sloppy.

The usual definition of diabetic coma is very low blood sugar sufficiently so that one loses consciousness. This is almost always caused by a poor match of medication (dosage or timing or both) to food, exercise, or stress (eg, an infection).

The other kind of diabetic coma is usually called a hyperglycemic non-ketotic diabetic coma. This is caused by far too high blood glucose levels, sufficiently so that they lose consciousness.

Diabetic ketoacidosis usually does not cause loss of consciousness, until the very last. it's most common in type 1 diabetics who have an infection or who have neglected food or insulin or coordinating them.

In your case, your glucose is quite high, and should be treated. Getting your glucose down can cause some problems, and so it's best done under medical supervision, not necessarily in a hospital, but that's most common in N America. It is not so simple as merely using insulin to get the glucose down., and in any case it should not be done quickly so as to allow the body to adjust to the lower glucose levels. If you're not already showing some symptoms of impending coma (sweating, dizziness, etc) you probably needn't call an ambulance. But, if you've noticed any such symptoms, don't drive anywhere! Take a cab, have a friend drive you, or call an ambulance.

Answer 9

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

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

Answer 10

yes a diabetic can go into a coma from high bloodsugars. however, usually it takes a much much much much higher sugar (in the 1000's) for a pretty substantial period of time to have that happen. You will however develop ketones, and eventually go into DKA (diabetic keto acidosis) wich damages all of your organs. What you should do is correct your bloodsugar as best you can (i'm assuming you take insulin, i'm sorry if i'm wrong) if you give yourself insulin and wait long enough for it to start moving (generally about half an hour) and nothing happens, chances are your insulin is bad. you either need to open a new bottle, and if you dont have another one, either go to the emergancy room or the pharmacy. I dont know how many times my meter has read "HI" meaning over 500-600 and I've never been in a coma... Remember to check for ketones as those can become dangerous. even if you have not developed them yet, if you are that high, you will sooner or later, so start drinking your water, thirsty or not. the last thing you want is to become dehydrated (wich is exteremely easy to do if you're bg's are high)
I hope you find this helpfull

Answer 11

This is not a forum for someone with a blood sugar of 500. You are in need of a doctor's supervision. No one should be walking around with a blood sugar that high. You are in danger of destroying other vital organs including your eyesight. Get professional care and get your sugar under control to live a long and productive life. Diabetes is a condition, not a death sentence.
