hyperglycemic emergencies
Hyperglycemic emergencies refer to acute and potentially life-threatening conditions caused by abnormally high blood sugar levels. These emergencies commonly occur in individuals with diabetes, particularly those with uncontrolled or undiagnosed diabetes. They involve severe symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, dehydration, confusion, and altered consciousness. Immediate medical attention is necessary to manage hyperglycemic emergencies and prevent complications.
