You can check for prostate if he has symptoms of frequency of passing urine or retention of urine. You can get an Ultrasound done for Prostate and a blood test called Serum PSA. For his Diabetes, you should see a Physician to increase his anti diabetic medicines. Let us know the reports of the Prostate tests and we can guide you with further treatment. Take care.
