He could be having pre diabetes which is a step before a person develops diabetes. A blood test called as Hba1c will be helpful in this case. Get the test done and visit a diabetologist. Stopping sugar is not the solution to control diabetes. This is a misconception. It requires a sustained change in the overall diet and lifestyle .
