I don’t remember but I did take it with me when visiting here in ICU. As it happened the University Medical Professor was going room to room with his students. I showed him the medication and his eyes widened. “Dr. X prescribed this for bladder infection”? I knew then something was amiss. My wifes pancreas shut down and didn’t produce insulin and subsequently her blood sugar went sky high. When went to the emergency room, the ER said her condition was deadly serious and asked if this had happened before. I said no. He diagnosed her with diabetic ketoacidosis.
Anyway she survived and later Dr. X said he didn’t know what happened. But I knew. We changed doctors. The latest one isn’t much better though.

Glad she made it. DKA is puzzling.
Was it new onset?
