Hi..Your father has very high blood sugars and he needs immediate hospitalisation to prevent further complications..probably due to prolonged immobilisation he had got bedsores which can cause septisemia if not treated immediately...being diabetic he is more prone to develop complications....so urgently consult to physician..
Thank u...
