As emergency medical service providers, we encounter a wide variety of medical emergencies, and among them, diabetic emergencies are some of the most common. These emergencies can occur suddenly and require prompt action, as they can quickly progress into life-threatening situations if not treated effectively. Diabetes, whether Type 1 or Type 2, affects millions of people worldwide, and its complications can lead to severe conditions such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS).Understanding the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for these conditions is essential for EMS personnel to provide the best care possible.
