Could high fever and vomiting cause high blood sugar in non diabetic children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress response: During any illness a kid may have a stress response that includes the inflow of stress hormones into the blood. Epinephrine & cortisol both tend to elevate blood sugars during the stress period. Any elevation would revert to normal after the stress has subsided.
