What Causes High Fever And Excessive Breathing While Having High Blood Sugar Level?

Husband has belching, retching at times, 102.fever, weakness, pain in thighs, out of breath, what can that be? His blood test only showed sugar was high. Is not doing blood culture to check for infection in blood. Fever yesterday was 106 and last night - heavy, rapid breathing, worse than his normal sleep apnea. What do you suggest? he took xray today - no results yet.
