Zuzana - Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are complication of diabetes. The different is that high blood sugar [hyperglycemia] is kind of easier to manage with insulin but if blood sugar drop too low symptoms and complications are serious.Brain works on "sugar" so if brain doesn't have enough sugar coma to follow. It's critical to recognize that fast. Some glucogel under tongue or if in hospital glucose IV.
TheOrange Evil - Death from high blood sugar is much more common than death from low blood sugar, if that's what you're asking. Physicians are extremely scared of their patients have hypoglycemia because hypoglycemia is an urgent crisis situation that requires immediate treatment, whereas the effects of high blood sugar are chronic and long-term. In other words, your blood sugar can run 250 mg/dL for years and you may not get sick, but eventually there will be damage. As a result, doctors seem much less concerned about high blood sugar than they are low blood sugar, although high blood sugar over years kills many more diabetics than low blood sugar ever will.
