If glucose levels get too high or low, would i go into a coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, you can go into a coma when your glucose levels are too high (hyperglycemia) and also when the glucose is too low (hypoglycemia). Both can be very dangerous conditions. If you have diabetes, you should follow closely with your primary care doctor to prevent such episodes.
