Hello everyone,
I'm writing here, because I'm in the difficult moment and situation, shocked and devastated and I need support, my boyfriend is already in the diabetic coma and under the ventilation in the Iranian hospital .
I would like to tell the story and situation from start. My boyfriend 35 yo (Canadian Iranian) got diabeties type 1 around 10 years ago from taking medicines for schizophrenic disorder. He took all this years insuline to normalize his sugar level and was under care of Canadian doctors. This year visited me in Europe and everything was fine, after that decided to visit Iran to care for his mum. During travelling around of Iran he got infection similar to influenza. He was weak, felt dizzy, throat hurt, stopped to eat and drink, was viomiting. After few days went to Iranian hospital, but they refused to take him, because doctor said he is young and healthy (they checked his general blood test). He went back to hotel, and stayed in bed by next two days. Then his state went only worse. Last of his energy went to hospital where he stayed with his mum at night in the hospital (she was hospitalized because same influenza). This night he called me video call, that was last our contact, he layed on the hospital bed in the room with mum and barely talking, he was so weak. I thought is because a flu. Then from this time my contact cut, his phone got shut down. After days of worrying I contacted his brothers in Canada. They informed me that he fainted because of high blood sugar and he is unconsious under ventilator. He never had that before. Now is around 10 days, and he is still uncounsious . I'm loosing hope, I'm scared, I'm far away, I can't do anything. I'm reading a lot of articles, and is written that if someone is in diabetic coma more than several hours can get brain damage and even die. I'm also scared that his organs can be destroyed too. I was reading that is probably ketoacidosis diabecy. I think he got it because infection, he didn't took insuline, because he stopped to eat by few days. He told me even that his breath is stinky but i didn't had idea that can be sympthoms of DKA . Now he is also fighting flu symphtoms. I'm also scared that respiratos can gives him pneumonia and he will die of that . His brother one of the first message said that he is "sadated", can be a change that doctors decided to put him into pharmacological coma, is that common practice ? There are cases that people woke up from coma after weeks, or he is sentenced to death already ? Is his young age giving him more chance to recovery ? He should woke up from fainting after few hours right ? I also worry cause he doesn't has Iranian passport, he is Canadian citizen, worry that doctors will be scared to take responsibility for his treatment. I pray everyday to God to help him get back, I don't wanna lose my love . I'm crawling on the walls from fear and stress . If hospital would like to take him 3 days before he probably never won't go into coma. What I should expect now ? Every another day of coma I'm loosing hope, is killing me inside.
