What Causes Randomly Occurring Fever And Blurred Speech?

My husband has been running an inconsistent fever. Up and down. Highest about 101. He takes insulin. He drank more alchol than usual. The inability to walk on his own was expected. But most of his speech came out gibberish. He is sleeping now. No usual signs of stroke FAST. Is this likely a high blood sugar that will clear after sleep?
