What should I do if I faint due to high blood sugar? Take stock of the dangers of high blood sugar

In daily life, patients with high blood sugar will faint when their blood sugar rises suddenly, so what should they do if they faint with high blood sugar? First aid measures

1. If a patient with hyperglycemia suddenly loses consciousness, the family should immediately untie the patient's clothes and put the patient in a comatose position to ensure that the airway is unobstructed.It is best not to do anything else until the ambulance arrives.

2. The effective way to rescue hypoglycemic coma is to let the patient drink sugar water. For hyperglycemic coma, the patient is asked to drink tea with table salt. If the family can distinguish between the two comas, then they can be treated appropriately. What are the consequences of high blood sugar?

1. Severe dehydration: due to osmotic diuresis caused by high blood sugar, the urine output increases, the excretion of urine sugar increases, and polyuria can make the body lose water.

2. Electrolyte disorder: When there is high blood sugar, a large amount of urination not only loses water but also takes electrolytes away from the urine, causing electrolyte disorders.

3. Increased osmotic pressure: when hyperglycemia increases, the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid increases, and the intracellular fluid flows to the outside of the cell, resulting in intracellular water loss, which can cause brain dysfunction when brain cells lose water, and clinically hyperosmolar coma.

4. β cell failure: long-term hyperglycemia stimulates pancreatic β cells, which will cause pancreatic β cells to fail, and less insulin secretion, making diabetes worse.
