OBS

Si le diabète est connu, le diagnostic avec les autres comas est en règle facile. La mesure instantanée de la glycémie capillaire au bout du doigt permet d'éliminer un coma hypoglycémique. L'erreur essentielle consiste à confondre un coma hyperosmolaire, une acidose lactique comportant une cétose modérée, avec une authentique acidocétose.
