Acute complications
Serious, life-threatening complications can arise quickly. Fortunately, such complications can go away just as quickly if you – and those closest to you -- know what to do and how to do it. Acute complications arise from uncontrolled high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) and low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) caused by mismatching of available insulin and need. In short, you either have taken too much Diabetes medication or too little.
Some acute complications require immediate medical attention.
