Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. During diabetes, medication and diet go hand in hand.
2. If he is not eating, avoid giving him insulin injections as it could cause hypoglycemia - which is dangerous.
3. Need to counsel him about the importance of food during all times. Sugar coke is good and would help him recover. However, tummy ache cause needs evaluation, meet your doctor.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
