Brief Answer:
Emergency

Detailed Answer:
He needs immediate medical care. Kindly take him right now to the nearest emergency room. You should also call his doctors office. I understand it's the weekend but some doctors arrange for on-call advice on phone. His blood glucoses need to be controlled quickly
