Why Is Dexilant Prescribed For A Diabetic And Heart Patient?

Hi, couple months ago I was at work and went into severe sweat. I am a type 1 Diabetic and thought I was having a reaction to low blood sugar due to starting new insulin called trevou. Shortly after the sweating stopped and I ate something my chest felt sore. I had my boss take me home and checked my blood repeatedly getting slightly high results (Between 200-300). I got ride to my doctor thinking something more serious was happening because my symptoms should have subsided after eating and numbers were up. I informed my doctor that I thought I was having a heart attack. he gave me Dexilant. and ran some blood work. sure enough enzymes were present showing something significant occurred with heart. My question is why did doctor give me Dexilant? My Circumflux artery clogged and they put in a stent
