Hi,
His sugar levels are fluctuating too much. First we need to check for the cause for this. Kindly let us know since when he is suffering from diabetes, what drugs he is taking, any comorbidities. These will help in management.
For now ask him to have food at regular intervals of 3 hours, if any hypoglycemic feelings then he should take one spoon of sugar or sweet or even chocolate. To prevent hyperglycaemia ask him to take little food which will give not more than 250 - 300 kilocalories each time and to adhere for his drugs. These will help him.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries.
Regards
