Diabetic Hyperosmolar Syndrome Health Center

Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome is a serious condition which develops when the blood sugar level tops 600 mg per deciliter. When the blood sugar gets this high, the blood becomes thick and syrupy, causing diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome. Excess sugar passes from the blood into the urine, triggering a filtering process which draws tremendous amounts of fluid from the body. Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome typically affects people with type 2 diabetes and could develop in people who have not yet been diagnosed as diabetics. Other factors which may increase the risk of diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome include illness and poor diabetes management.
