How to Prevent Diabetic Coma
It is possible to prevent a diabetic coma by following these tips:
– Measure blood sugar level regularly: This can help keep the level in check and prevent too low or high levels, which may increase the risk of diabetic coma.
– Follow a mean plan: Having consistent meals or snacks may help control blood sugar level.
– Reduce alcohol consumption: Sedating effects of alcohol may affect blood sugar. Thus, avoid or limit your intake of beer or wine.
– Wear a medical ID necklace or bracelet: This device can help inform your family members, friends, or medical staff when you lose consciousness.
– Take medications as instructed to ensure the right timing and dosage.
– Educate colleagues, friends, and family members about possible signs of extreme blood sugar levels, so that they can help you in emergency cases.
– Use a continuous glucose monitor to keep track of your blood sugar levels all the time. This is especially important for those people who have difficulty keeping their blood sugar levels stable. [10]
