    Fever usually indicates infection . When diabetics are ill that can result in the blood glucose rising. Urinary tract infections are more common in elderly diabetics as well. Encourage her to drink a glass of water which should help to lower her temp and retest her blood sugar again. If she seems to be very ill or her sugar is continuing to go up, call her doctor

    It's actually the opposite - the 101 fever most likely caused the high glucose level.

    I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

    Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

    I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

    No. High blood sugar and a 101 fever in a 79yo female would signal an infection. Older females get urinary tract infections alot. Blood sugar rises when a body is stressed in diabetics. It may be nothing but i doubt it. If she were my mother I would take her to the doctor.
