What happens if you correct the blood sugar too quickly in diabetic ketoacidosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible coma: You can induce cerebral edema and coma, but doctors and nurses are careful and take measures to avoid such complications. Ketoacidosis is a life-threatening emergency, however, and can have an up to 5% mortality.
