In diabetic patients with long‑term high blood glucose, severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can occur in the body, which may eventually progress to hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma. Symptoms include dizziness and confusion.
According to statistical data, patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma who do not receive effective and timely treatment may develop multiple organ failure, cardiopulmonary failure, and other life‑threatening conditions.
If hospital treatment is not received within 24 hours, the mortality rate exceeds 50%
