Hyperglycemic Crisis

A hyperglycemic crisis occurs when blood sugar levels become dangerously high, often in people with diabetes, especially if their condition is poorly managed. This condition can develop quickly and may cause severe dehydration, confusion, weakness, and even loss of consciousness if not treated promptly. It happens because the body cannot use or produce enough insulin, leading to a buildup of sugar in the bloodstream. Immediate medical attention is essential to balance the blood sugar, rehydrate the body, and prevent serious complications like coma or death. Managing diabetes properly helps reduce the risk of such crises.
