Brief Answer:
explained
Detailed Answer:
The cause of high diabetes could have been the infection
The uti may have been going in for sometime
Or the organism may have been strong enough to cause blood infection (sepsis)
In this situation, blood sugars may have risen.
Alternativley, his medications may not have been sufficient or may have been defective/expired. This could have resulted in high sugars. in fact that would form a base for the infection in the first place.
There is a chance that the sugars may return to the prior levels once the infection has settled.
alternatively, if that does not happen, he would be given a new anti diabetes regime at the time of discharge from the hospital
And he should stick to it diligently.
Regular home blood sugar check up with glucometer is a good idea
Best of luck
