HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The history of diabetes is there, so first reason could be a diabetes of your husband's problems but another clinical conditions has to be considered, you did not mentioned the status of his blood sugar it would be helpful if given here I would like to advise you to get his Hb1Ac test done, it should be below 7%, here the clinical history is too brief that it does not give any clue requesting you to be more specify next time have good day.
