Hello,

Because your husband has diabetes his immune system might not be working as it should and it might make him more vulnerable to infections. It would be good for him to see a doctor and rule out important infection.
He needs a thorough physical examination to find out the cause of the fever and have the proper treatment. Also due to diabetes and vomiting, he is at risk of dehydration so having plenty of fluids and oral rehydration solutions is very important to substitute both lost fluids and electrolytes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
