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.
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.
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 ?
It is in both legs, previously felt mostly on the insides of my thighs, but more recently on the outside and backs of my legs as well. I have no visual symptoms when experiencing this, no rash or marks etc. When it occurs it usually lasts constantly for a week or sometimes 2, then it disappears. The frequency of recurrences seems to be increasing, while it not painful it is rather uncomfortable and distressing.
I am male, mid 20s, generally in good health although I drink more than I should.
sounds like need to contact the doc and make some adjustments to insulin and start watching carbs because carbs turns into sugar. My daughter is a type one diabetic and my half sister is a type 1 diabetic both diagnosed at age 7 my sister actually lost half her leg and almost died cause she went into a diabetic coma. Also have alot of family with type 2 diabetes. My recommendation is to try to keep each meal around 40-70 carbs but would deffinatly disucss with doc first.
You should go and see a doctor ASAP!
I was diagnosed with Diabetes, Type 1, 3 years ago (I was 13), with exactly the same symptoms - close to coma. I'm not joking, and sure - it can hit you at any age, even one day before your death.
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.
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.
Help! My mom is in a coma and the doctors cannot understand why. She had a stroke (left cerebellum) the end of Jan or first part of Feb. She was doing great but I noticed around the 11th, she was declining. After many doctors denying her condition was worsening and countless tests, she is now in a coma like state. Her latest MRI shows white spots. They were not present on her MRI from 2/24. All blood work comes back normal. No signs of infection. She had 16 white blood cells in her spinal fluid.
It can be uncomfortable, but not fatal, unless you have no thryoid or have had your thryoid surgically removed. Without meds and no thyroid, one would suffer an uncomfortable slow lapse into a coma and then eventually death.
Just having an underactive thyroid means that your metabolism slows and can envolve a variety of physical symptoms. How much and the severity of the symptoms is based on the your own particular situtation and dx.
