diabetic coma and organ failure
Diabetic coma refers to a life-threatening condition that can occur in people with uncontrolled diabetes. It is characterized by extremely high blood sugar levels, leading to unconsciousness or a deep stupor. Organ failure refers to the dysfunction or impairment of one or more critical organs in the body. This can happen due to various reasons, such as illness, injury, or severe medical conditions. When organ failure occurs, the affected organs are unable to perform their normal functions, potentially leading to significant health complications or death.
