Paula & he mum are fraught as you can imagine.
Carol I expect they have taken him back in because the virus will thrive if his blood sugar levels rise. In hospital they should be helping him to monitor his carbohydrates.
If he is on insulin they should also be able to help him adjust his injections, if he isn't eating as well as normal.
Infections are dangerous to diabetics, but at least he is in a place where they should be able to help keep his blood sugar at a reasonable level. That means no grapes or chocolate bars till he is much better! I hope he is soon on the mend again.
