High glucose doesn't generally lead to "shock," but long-term high glucose levels can damage the kidneys, nerves (especially in the feet and legs), the heart, and the retina.

Getting The Right Balance Of Sugar?
The nutrition of a diabetic is extremely important. They cannot get much sugar in their diet because it will increase the blood sugar levels in the body. If this happens, the person would go into diabetic shock. However, if you do not get enough sugar in your diet, you risk going into a diabetic coma because the blood sugar levels would drop too low. Diabetics need to find a balance with the amount of sugar they take in to their bodies.
