What level does your blood sugar have to be at to induce diabetic coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly Variable: Many factors involved with "diabetic coma". Dehydration, as well as overall health are important factors. In the type ii person with diabetes, it is usually in the 1, 000 range; for the person with type i diabetes it is dependant more on the level of blood ph. The more acidotic the blood, the higher the likelihoodd of complications including coma. Hypoglemia may cause coma as well.
