Let him eat high fibre diet. Include fruits and vegetables everyday. Read about healthy lifestyle and adapt the good habits. Things will improve. Keep checking the blood sugar.

Reason of foul smell is production of gases due to indigestion of proteins and fats. Give him digestive enzymes after meals for some time.
