Depends if he got steroids. But will probably need medication and some tests.

If he was treated with steroids, start on lifestyle modification and low carbohydrate diet and adequate protein and fat diet.
No need to check daily.
After 15 days check Fbs, Ppbs HBA1C in laboratory and consult me on phone with details.
