E13.0: Other specified diabetes mellitus with coma

Other specified diabetes mellitus with coma refers to a serious diabetes scenario that is not classified under type 1 or type 2 diabetes and is associated with a coma. This typically results when the body of a patient with this type of diabetes is unable to use sugar, also known as glucose, properly. Due to this, the levels of glucose build up in the bloodstream to potentially harmful levels, causing hyperglycemia. If left untreated, serious complications may occur, including diabetic coma, which is a life-threatening condition that leads to unconsciousness. A diabetic coma can occur due to dangerously high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Symptoms can vary greatly, but they generally include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, nausea, and shortness of breath. Please note, this is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
