Cure Research for Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome

Treatments for Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome

Treatments to consider for Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome may include:

  • Hospitalization - HHNS can be severe enough to require hospitalization, especially if occurring in a newly diagnosed diabetic.
  • Lowering blood sugars - Extreme HHNS requires gradual blood sugar lowering in a hospital setting. Milder HHNS can be treated mainly by reducing blood sugars using insulin.
  • Fluid replacement - Fluids such as water are required to replace the lost fluid and fix the dehydration.
  • Treat metabolic imbalances - HHNS is a severe condition that can cause other metabolic changes. Hospital care will test and address other chemical imbalances.
  • Treat the underlying cause - Once the main symptoms are alleviated, it is important to identify what caused the HHNS, so as to avoid it recurring. A common cause is that the patient is diabetic, but did not know they were.
