Hi. Do not worry for the decreased alkaline phosphatase levels. Decreased are not associated with disease. He should be treated for high glucose. For complaints of vomiting, you should contact your family doctor. As he had history of cancer, he should be regularly under follow up of his treating doctor. Take care
