What should elderly diabetics eat when they are comatose?

Patient's question:

Grandma has had diabetes for over ten years and eats very little but drinks a lot. She is still very dizzy and has had another episode of fainting. I would like to ask what a diabetic elderly person should eat when they faint?

Doctor's answer:

According to the routine for unconscious care, blood pressure should be measured every hour.
2. Treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis-induced coma. Use of regular insulin under anesthesia.
Patients with diabetes have a relatively lower immunity compared to the general population, making them more susceptible to diseases. When blood sugar is well-controlled, appropriate use of antibiotics can help reduce edema and pain. Additionally, certain anti-inflammatory and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines can be used.
Generally, acute tonsillitis will not recur with significant issues. However, the most severe complication is laryngeal edema, which can be life-threatening in acute cases.
