According to the medical community on the 26th, hyperglycemic shock can appear as a precursor symptom of myocardial infarction or stroke, or it can occur due to various causes such as infectious diseases like influenza and pneumonia, or stress.

Within the medical community, the causes of hyperglycemic shock are diverse, making it difficult to determine the cause solely based on blood sugar levels. However, persistent difficulties in blood sugar control can lead to emergency situations such as cardiac arrest, which threaten life.

Usually, when blood sugar levels rise above 180 mg/dL, they exceed the reabsorption capacity of the renal tubules that produce urine, leading to glucose being excreted in the urine. During this process, body fluids are also lost, leading to dehydration, and if severe, it can be life-threatening.

Symptoms of hyperglycemic shock include extreme thirst due to dehydration, drinking a lot of water, frequent urination, and increased food intake. Additionally, weight loss and fatigue may also occur.

 

Stress is also one of the causes that can trigger high blood sugar shock.

If it persists for a long period, cortisol, a corticosteroid hormone, is secreted, which interferes with the action of insulin.

If there is a problem with insulin secretion or action, preventing glucose from being supplied into the cells, blood sugar levels will rise.

It is known that the deceased experienced a lot of stress while preparing for a lawsuit due to not receiving payment for the musical 'Mother'. For diabetic patients, stopping medication or contracting infectious diseases such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections can also cause hyperglycemic shock.

The treatment for hyperglycemic shock typically involves administering intravenous fluids and insulin to lower blood sugar levels and correcting electrolyte imbalances caused by dehydration.

To prevent this, it is important to regularly manage blood sugar levels and take precautions to avoid infectious diseases. Experts advise avoiding beverages containing sugars that raise blood sugar and ensuring adequate hydration.
