The patient has a history of diabetes.
Over the last 4 days the patient is unable to eat well and having severe diarrhea and loose motions. Even liquid intake is getting refluxed out. This has led to low sugar levels on one occasionand yesterday the consulting doctor has stopped the sugar medicine.
As per the attached blood test report, the patient has high levels of haemoglobin and PCV.
Pls advise what could be the root cause and at what point hospitalization should be considered.
