Can a baby die if his/her blood sugar is really high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: One of the things that can occur with a high blood sugar is diabetic ketoacidosis. This can result in vomiting, dehydration, deep gasping breaths and can lead to coma. It is a medical emergency and without treatment can lead to death.
