Depends: Hi. I don't know why, but if you have diabetes and sure sugar is high and goes a lot higher after eating sugary foods, that could explain it. None of us can tell you without a history, physical exam, and diagnostic testing as appropriate. You probably should see your doctor.

Is it rare to get a fever with food poisoning? My husband had about 9 hours of diarrhea with a fever in the same night. He had mildly sick after eating some chicken the day before. His fever got to around 100.5 and was gone the next morning. Thanks?
