Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since he is experiencing frequent diarrhea, high fever and has a history of diabetes, it is best to follow up with a doctor. Dehydration, elevated blood sugar, need for antibiotics should all be considered here.
