Here are some common causes of diabetic coma:

Hypoglycemia (hahy-poh-glahy-see-mee-uh)

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels, especially effects Type 1 diabetics that take insulin syringes in order to control their blood sugar levels. In most cases, one can avoid falling into a low blood sugar coma by simply drinking juice or eating diabetic meals delivered with carbohydrates at the first sign of low blood sugar levels.

In most cases, diabetics will have low blood sugar levels during sleep, after heavy drinking, after taking medications, diabetes supplements or during intense periods of exercise. In order to revive an unconscious hypoglycemic patient, simply inject blood sugar meters the individual with glucose in order to elevate the blood sugar back to a normal level.
