# Ram Kapoor’s 600 Blood Sugar Reading Was a Medical Emergency 2026-08-07T02:51:43+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Actor Ram Kapoor has said his blood sugar once rose above 600 mg/dL while he was dealing with obesity, depression and long working hours. Speaking on Lock Upp Season 2, he recalled taking insulin three times a day and being warned that his health could become fatal. Doctors told India Today that such a reading can cause severe dehydration, kidney injury, electrolyte imbalance, stroke, heart attack, seizures or coma. The condition may develop into diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state, which is more common in people with Type 2 diabetes and can push sugar levels above 600 mg/dL. Warning signs include intense thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, vomiting, confusion and drowsiness. Immediate hospital care is needed, especially when a person cannot drink fluids or develops rapid breathing or weakness on one side. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: blood sugar, diabetes, health emergency, hyperglycaemia, Ram Kapoor Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ram-kapoors-600-blood-sugar-reading-was-a-medical-emergency/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
