I suppose he is having type 2 diabetes not type 1 .
Type 1 diabetics are on multiple doses of insulin and usually not on any tablet . .
As you have mentioned that he is on a tablet and his sugars are under control .
He can go for trekking it will be beneficial for him .

Try to first do long walks around your home and monitor the fluctuations of blood sugar. CGMS may be of help. Take help of your treating diabetologist as well.
