Scary story, but not the first time I've heard about adverse reactions
to some medicines.
Hope that she's OK now.

Was in Spain a few weeks ago. My wife tried to croak on me. Became
incredibly ill one night. One of our daughters finally convinced her
she needed an ambulance (she would not agree to that when I was trying
to get her to). Super high blood sugar, ketones etc. Learned about
the “anion gap” that is a measure of blood acidity. Turns out she had
acute diabetic keto acidosis DKA. So we spent our Barcelona vacation
in a hospital there. She got better but they would not release her.
I finally just sprung her and we got home and went directly to a
hospital here. She was stable enough to go home. She set up an
appointment with her Dr and was OK for a week. Just chalked it up to
a worsening of her type 2 diabetes. At the Dr office she became ill
again, took her to the ER. They finally figured out that she is one
of the people that Jardiance can kill. I causes DKA in some people
(usually DKA is reserved for type 1 diabetes). Super scary. So if
someone on Jardiance starts non stop vomiting, super (and I mean
super) high heart rate (150) and respiration (100) it could be this.
Don’t think they simply ate something bad or are dehydrated.
