HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If he has an symptoms related to infection (cough/cold or any infection) then this can cause an increase in his blood sugar.
If this is not the case then the increase can be related to a change in diet or not using the medication as prescribed.
He should do his readings regularly for the next 2 to 3 days at different points during the day- fasting, premeals, post meals , so that he can get a general idea of his control.
If the readings are consistently high then he may need to speak to his doctor about about his medication.
I hope this helps
