A blood sugar shift can become dangerous in two directions. Glucose can drop until the brain starves, or climb until the blood becomes acidic. Both are life-threatening, and neither can wait for a primary care appointment. Our 24/7 diabetic emergency room in Coppell identifies the cause of your distress with an onsite laboratory that returns metabolic results within minutes of arrival.
No appointment needed. No long wait. If you are experiencing blood sugar emergency symptoms and need immediate help, walk into our diabetic emergency room now.

Routine fluctuations are part of life with diabetes. A diabetic emergency room visit begins when levels reach extremes that the body can no longer compensate for.
Seek immediate diabetic emergency care if high or low blood sugar is accompanied by these blood sugar emergency symptoms:
A reading that remains above 300 mg/dL despite treatment, or a drop below 70 mg/dL that does not respond to oral glucose, requires a diabetic emergency room evaluation for diabetic ketoacidosis treatment.
Blood sugar emergencies are categorized by which direction the levels have swung. Both require rapid diabetic emergency care and stabilization.
Hypoglycemia means blood sugar is too low. Because the brain relies exclusively on glucose for fuel, a low blood sugar ER visit is needed to prevent seizures or coma. Our low blood sugar ER focuses on restoring glucose levels immediately via IV or oral means.
Hyperglycemia means blood sugar is too high. If left untreated, a high blood sugar emergency can progress to diabetic ketoacidosis treatment, where the body begins burning fat for fuel. This high blood sugar emergency requires aggressive IV hydration.
Whether you need a low blood sugar ER or a high blood sugar emergency team, our onsite labs begin the corrective diabetic ketoacidosis treatment while you are in our care.
In a low blood sugar ER crisis, speed is the most important factor. Walking into our facility ensures you receive diabetic emergency care without triage delays.

Go right away if your blood sugar extremes cause confusion, fainting, or vomiting. You should also seek emergency care for persistent readings above 300 mg/dL or below 70 mg/dL that do not resolve with your usual treatment.
DKA is a life-threatening complication of high blood sugar where the body produces dangerous levels of blood acids (ketones). It requires immediate medical attention and is usually treated with IV fluids and insulin.
Most metabolic lab results are returned within minutes of collection. Because our lab is onsite, your physician can diagnose and begin treatment during your visit.
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans. Under Texas law, emergency visits are processed at in-network benefit levels, regardless of facility status.
No. If you suspect low blood sugar, do not drive. Hypoglycemia can impair your reaction time, vision, and judgment rapidly. Ask a family member or friend to drive you, or call 911 if you are alone and feeling unstable.
If possible, bring your blood glucose meter, your current list of medications (including insulin or oral diabetes drugs), and a brief history of your recent symptoms. However, do not delay seeking care to find these items; our team can manage your care regardless.
Nausea accompanied by high blood sugar is often a symptom of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which occurs when your body begins breaking down fat too quickly, creating toxic acids called ketones. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention.
