What is the difference between diabetic coma and insulin reaction?
Diabetic coma is a result of too much sugar in the blood (hyperglycemia) due to a lack of sufficient insulin production. Patients with severe diabetes take insulin injections to help suppliment their body's inability to produce enough insulin. Insulin Shock is a result of too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, wich metabolizes whatever sugars ARE in the body sometimes resulting in an extremely decreased blood sugar level (hypoglycemia). These patients generally need to be given something sweet like OJ or a candy to help jolt sugar levels in the blood.

How does insulin lower the blood glucose level if it is too high?
Insulin enables the sugar to get out of the blood and into the cells where it is needed for the cells to function. If you don't have insulin because the pancreas is not producing it (as in diabetes) then the sugar will not be able to get into the cells, therefore there will be a high concentration in the blood. On the other hand, if you are diabetic and you take too much insulin, then too much sugar will go into the cells and there will not be enough sugar left in the blood.
