What is a diabetes-related coma?

Diabetes-related coma is a life-threatening emergency that can happen to you if you have diabetes. In a diabetes-related coma, you’re unconscious and unable to respond to your environment. You’re either suffering from high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) or low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). You need immediate medical attention if you go into a diabetes-related coma.
