HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such fluctuation in heat rate does not matter at all because it could be non significant unless have some positive finding in EKG for the high level of blood sugar it need to be managed on tight rule basis and he would be taken care for sure for that too, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
