AB Coma  may  be  due  to  causes  not  directly  related  to  diabetes.  Diabetic  coma  requires  differentiation  (Table  27–10):  (1)  Hypoglycemic  coma  from  excessive  insulin  or  oral  hypoglycemic  agents.  (2)  Hyperglycemic  coma  with  either  severe  insulin  deficiency  (DKA)  or  mild  to  moderate  insulin  deficiency  (hyperglycemic  hyperosmolar  state).  (3)  Lactic  acidosis,  particularly  when  patients  with  diabetes  have  severe  infections  or  cardiovascular  collapse.
