How painful is it to die from high blood sugar if you have type 2 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As a rule of thumb, people don't die from high sugar nowadays provided that care is right and given timely. It is low sugar that has incomparably more chances to lead to death, even for patient in the hospital.
