The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative is that high sugar is merely a lifestyle problem, while the opposite exaggeration treats one celebrity’s account as a diagnosis for everyone. The facts point to urgency without panic. Readings can rise because of infection, missed insulin or steroids, and symptoms may be mistaken for heat or overwork. The practical test is simple: will people with warning signs check their glucose promptly and reach hospital care before dehydration worsens?
