As he is a diabetic you must understand that the body is in a starvation mode as carbs are not reaching the cells. So eating less will only harm him more. Here it is always advisable to take a proper plan and not tips. But still till then remember that you must eat small frequent meals. Eat cereals pulses fruits and vegetables in the right amounts. Avoid sugar jaggery honey. Avoid fasting and feasting.
