Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Most medicines may contain alcohol or sugar as base, which may increase the sugar.
Fever and stress increases ketone.
Take care - take plenty of fluids and adjust insulin dose.
You may need admission and aggressive management is ketone continues
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
