Hi, I did review your concern.
Continuous vomiting in a diabetic is very concerning for either Diabetic ketoacidosis or Nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. I would recommend you to take him to nearby hospital and get his blood and urine evaluated for ketones and lactic acid and also glucose. this may be a fatal situation and earlier you take action better the eventual course is.
I hope this helps you.
Wish your son healthy life.
