question: Male 71 has diabeties, one year ago he was hospitalized, his blood sugar went high about 700.  He was admitted on a Friday, he was still alert, by Sunday he couldn't wake up and was struggling, like he wanted to get out of bed.  He has been in the hospital over a week.  The first time he was admitted they said it might be rocky mountain spotted fever, but that was ruled out.  This time they say it may be hashimotoencephaliris. Not sure of the spelling.
