Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zhnyaka" data-source="post: 2647413" data-attributes="member: 554712">diabetic coma is a condition in which type 1 diabetes is very often diagnosed, so doctors are usually good at coping with it, basically droppers with insulin and saline are enough for a person to come to. A coma caused by low blood sugar, rather than high, usually has a negative effect on the brain, high blood sugar has a bad effect on blood vessels and this can lead, among other things, to kidney failure, but 11 days is not enough for this, usually it takes at least several months (but more often decades) for the development of such complications. In addition, with ketoacidosis, a person has no problems with the ability to breathe and there is no need for artificial lung ventilation. It seems to me that the reason why your boyfriend is now in intensive care is not diabetes, but the flu (or the infection he contracted). With diabetes, people usually have a strong immune system, so I sincerely hope that everything will be fine with your boyfriend and you.  And... I hope I can say this, but usually we want to know that the people we love can be happy even when we feel bad. I know it's difficult for you to do this, but try to at least make yourself a delicious tea or take a walk around the city, because to see how your illness has exhausted a loved one is truly terrible virtual hugs for you</blockquote>
