I have never heard of this either,but if i put my logical nurses hat on,i suppose if the liquids are high in sugar content,and the blood sugar was maybe borderline before DX then it could have tipped things over the edge. Did she have any IV fluids with her treatment,like dextrose perhaps?

this forum is great at throwing new things in the mix,and i will be fascinated to see what you find out.

love liz
