He sleeps most of the day and does not have the energy to due anything. He is a diabetic and his sugar level have been very high. He does not have PCM.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Is he taking any medicines for diabetes? Is he being followed by an endocrinologist or any other physician who is expert in the treatment of diabetic patients? He must have treatment immediately or else he could fall into a diabetic coma. Take him to the nearest hospital ER.

After the acute condition is properly treated, I strongly advise you to find a physician who is an expert in diabetes care for your son. If you live in the USA, contact the nearest center of the American Diabetes Association who will provide you with the names of doctors who can help your son.

If you reside in another country, contact a large hospital and ask if they have doctors who care for diabetic patients. Please, start acting as soon as you can for your son's sake. Come back to us after his diabetes is fully treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
