These signs include excessive hunger and thirst; weakness, dizziness, or both; drowsiness and confusion; shaking and increased perspiration; rapid pulse and low blood pressure; headache; nausea and vomiting; slow, labored respirations with sweet-smelling breath; frequent urination; convulsions; and loss of consciousness.
