Can A Diabetic Coma Patient Gain Consciousness?
My husband is in the hospital in the ICU. He has been in a diabetic coma for almost 7 days. He has type 2 diabetes. He has been taking insulin, no substance history, never smoked, and has no seizure, stroke, and Alzheimers after taking CT, EKG tests. How long will it take for him to wake up from a diabetic coma?

Yes, Diabetic coma patient can regain the consciousness, but how long it will take to recover depends on various other factors like blood pressure, blood glucose levels, heart function, liver and kidney functions.
