- Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)

Some common diabetic emergencies include:
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): This occurs when your blood sugar levels drop too low. Symptoms can include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, and confusion.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): This is a serious complication that arises when the body can't use glucose (sugar) for energy and starts breaking down fat instead. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fruity-smelling breath.
Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State (HHS): This is a state of extreme high blood sugar that can lead to dehydration and coma. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, drowsiness, and confusion.
