My mom is a diabetic and she is on insulin and BP meds. Past three dingays she is running 102 temp at night and her hands have started to shiver uncontrollably at times, then calms down. Her speech is coherent. Fasting blood sugar is at 117 this am. She feels cold but is not shivering (like Malaria). What should we test her for?
