My step sister is in ICU from a diabetic coma. When I found her, she was barely breathing, and she was probably in a coma about 5 hours before help arrived. Now she has been in the coma around 27 hours. The doctors are talking about brain damage from lack of oxygen. When they tickle her feet, her toes go straight instead of curling up. How long does people usually stay in this type of coma and what's with her toes not curling up?

I am not a doctor, but I am a type 1 Diabetic. Here is what Mayo Clinic says about Diabetic coma: If you have diabetes, dangerously high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can lead to a diabetic coma. If you lapse into a diabetic coma, you're alive — but you can't awaken or respond purposefully to sights, sounds or other types of stimulation. Left untreated, a diabetic coma can be fatal. A diabetic coma doesn't strike out of the blue.

Diabetic coma: Coma in a diabetic due to the buildup of ketones in the bloodstream. Ketones are a product of metabolizing (using) fats rather than the sugar glucose for energy. The best approach to diabetic coma is prevention. Careful diet, medication, and insulin dosing as needed should prevent ketone build-up. Patients with diabetes and their family members should be aware of the early signs of ketone build-up.

I asked a question on the 20th of October 2008 about my mom that has brain damage after diabetic coma. Have'nt received any reply. Where do I get a reply from please? Have been checking all the time but had no luck.

m just tiring to understand what happened. If anyone could lend some insite on the process of diabetic coma I would be very greatful as a autopsy will not be done. Here's what I know happened. The last call he made was Saturday morning. I found him the following Friday morning deceased on the floor. They estimate he had been deceased for approx 2 days. His last blood sugar reading was over 600 on his meter and there was vomit in the bath tub.

Help! My newly diagnosed roommate isn't eating to lose weight. She was diagosed in 11/07 and was told eating right would be very important in helping to regulate her insulin intake. Her blood sugar is still all over the place; too low, & way too high. She gained about 20 lbs the last few months and is now only drinking these advantage no sugar 2 carb protein drinks with very little to no food everyday. I don't know enough about diabetes and need some help.

My ex-brother in law was in a diabetic coma for 4 days. He has 100% brain loss. He just woke from the coma and is looking around his room. How can you has 100% brain loss, but be conscious?

My girlfriend is currently in a diabetic coma, and she have pneumonia. Do to the fact that she's in a coma, her body is not fighting the infection, and shutting down. Doctors say she could have a chance at life if they do surgery to drain the lungs, but she could die during the surgery if it too much for her. My question is could she live ?

According go my son you have to practically plan your meals for the whole days. Because when he cut back on calories he quit losing weight. I know how you feel I don't ess eat that much either. I'm also diabetic and I thought all this good I would end up in diabetic coma. Actually though I have gone from five shots a day to two. I haven't been on it long enough to lose any weight bit he lost 15lbs in a month plus he worked out a couple days a week.good luck.

I went into a diabetic coma when diagnosed and a doctor shoved the breathing tube into the back of my brain instead down my throat. I've been on prozac and have been fine since. This was when I was ten, (25 now). Any other questions I can answer I will. Thank you for reading and I hope you can answer my question. Good day.

check out Nutrisystem's diabetic plan. Since I've been on it I have stopped needing insulin shots!

My brother, who is a 60 year old type 2 diabetic, was found unconscious this week. Nobody knows for how long. Best guess is 8 hrs. My guess is that he is in a hypoglycemic coma. His glucose level was 120 when he was halo flown to the hospital he is at now. I don't know what he was given at the other hospital to raise that number but I believe it was much lower when he was found. I need to know if this is a survivable event.

my fiancee went into a hypoglycemic coma(diabetes coma)he was in this coma for at least 4days. he has since then recovered most of his memory and cognitive skills. but he is having some short term memory loss and cognitive damage. He seems to be recovering but he's recovering without any intense rehabilitation. should he get intense rehabilitation? will he recover his memory and cognitive skills fully? doctor's are not giving me any answers.

t eat, being that she was a diabetic, eventually causing her to go into a coma and die or does the stroke itself do something like hinder her from breathing . Was there something that made her stop breathing because of the stroke itself? She was getting something through an IV but I'm sure there wasn't much nourishment there. I guess I'm hoping that she didn't starve to death although she passed a week after she had the stroke.

After further thought, no exercise over 250 mg/dl comes to mind if ketones are present in the urine because you will further increase ketones in your blood which then may lead to DKA [diabetic ketoacidosis]. DKA can lead to serious health consequences such as coma.

which can cause liver damage and if your cat is diabetic it will cause ketoacidosis that goes from vomiting to coma an death. The thing is that your cat is healthy now, but they have tons of kidney problems when they get old...and a diet that's stressing the kidneys or liver since they're small can increase the chances of kidney and livet failure a lot.

If you are diabetic and you don't get seen by a doctor SOON you could wind up as I did 28 years ago - in a coma. My blood sugar was up to 880 and I was constantly hungry, thirsty, potty breaks, annoyed at everything and always falling asleep. By the time I got to the doctors office and they found out I had fallen asleep (again) and gone into a coma for almost 2 days. Diabetes isn't a horrible, nasty, awful thing. Is it fun - NO, but it is manageable.
