Hello,
Because your husband is confused and very sleepy you need to send him to see a doctor. Important conditions that affect the brain or possible complications to flu infection should be ruled out. He might need some blood tests as well to make sure all is well.
His sugar level is high as well but I don't think is the reason for his symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
