A member asked:
Could you tell me what are considered dangerous blood sugar levels for diabetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things!: If blood sugar is extremely high, you can suck water from the brain, with what is called hyperosmolar coma. Chronically high blood sugars will cause you to become dehydrated. And chronically high HGB a1cs indicate poor control and correlate best with diabetic complications!
