What Causes Extreme Body Pains And Vomiting In A Type II Diabetic Patient?
My husband is 54 and has type 2 diabetes. He is very active, in great shape and eats well. Today he has been in severe body pain with headaches. He has been sleeping all day and cannot eat. His sugar was 450 this afternoon (he often has high levels). What would be causing this extreme pain and vomiting?

I would suggest you get him to a hospital immediately This could be the starting of diabetic ketoacidosis While the condition is usually treatable, ignoring it may be fatal
So i repeat, get to a hospital immediately meanwhile give him as much water as he can consume without vomitting check sugars regularly
