He has no energy at all. His sugar runs about 200-350 most of the time. He sleeps all the time. We are under doctors care and he takes lantus and humalog everyday. We try to make him eat healthy and but it seems like when his sugar gets down to 150-250 he says he has no strength at all. I dont know any ideas how to make him have energy. Any ideas?

Take him out for a walk in sunshine for 15 minutes in the morning.Consult nutrition experts for dietary needs.

To be sedentary is not good at all. He should try by all means to burn his sugar by walking around.
