Guide To The Prevention And Treatment Of Diabetic Hyperosmolar Syndrome

Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome develops as a result of extremely elevated blood glucose (normally at least six hundred mg/dL), and symptoms intensify over a few days or weeks. Patients with diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome may have a fever, and their skin is often warm and dry. Excessive thirst, drowsiness, confusion, and increased urine output are all common symptoms. Some patients may experience vision loss, hallucinations, or seizures.

This condition is considered a medical emergency that requires treatment at a hospital. If left untreated, patients may develop severe dehydration or fall into a coma, both of which may be life-threatening.
