Our Son had 2 Diabetic Comas, two years apart. The complications from the first on was, loss of memory, loss of coordination, loss of life and job skills, difficulty finding the right words when talking, difficulty with understanding consequences. Over time he was able to relearn a lot of these skills and to take care of his personal and medical needs, hold down a job, live on his own, be responsible but what deemed disabled.
The complications from the second were much more severe. He can not talk or form intelligible words, he can not follow directions at all, he cannot take care of any of his personal or medical needs, he cannot walk, get up, or crawl on his own, he is severely disabled and brain damaged.
He had the incident almost 2 years ago and we see some improvements but not enough for him to talk or take care of himself, he still needs 24 hour care to live and we are in HOPE that someone some where has any information that would make a difference so that he can have a life.

There are several conditions that are complications of diabetes mellitus. The most common conditions include eye problems like glaucoma and cataracts, foot ulcers, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and neuropathy.
If a diabetic goes into a coma, their blood glucose level would likely be very high, potentially above 600 mg/dL. This condition is known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and requires immediate medical attention to bring the blood glucose level back to a normal range.
Yes. They help diabets control their sugar intake, and carb intake. This helps a diabetic from going ito diabetic coma and it really helps them stay healthy and out of the hospital.
Diabetic Coma
Any brain damage obtained before the state of coma is what causes clawing hands during a coma. This is what is commonly called a vegetative state.
Anatomic causes of coma are diagnosed from CT (computed tomography ) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging ) scans.
Diabetic Coma
metabolic causes of coma consist of those conditions that change the chemical environment of the brain, thereby adversely affecting function.
if you don't mind being in a coma, sure...
