Yes, uncontrolled diabetes may trigger heart problems including cardiac arrest.
Over time, chronic insulin resistance can lead to prediabetes and then Type 2 diabetes if it's not treated or able to be treated. Prediabetes happens when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
Anything above 25 is high insulin level.If your insulin levels are consistently this high or even more elevated, even when fasting, you could be diagnosed with hyperinsulinemia.
Dangerous blood sugar levels is called diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome.If your blood sugar level goes above 600 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 33.3 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), the condition is called diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome. When blood sugar is very high, the extra sugar passes from the blood into the urine. Not only this, the person can also slip into coma if not treated on time.
