High blood pressure and high blood sugar.

Could also be an intestinal virus.  He needs to monitor his BP and blood sugar closely now and keep them under control.

Electrolyte imbalance because of the diarrhea? Maybe suplement with Pedialyte or Ensure if diarrhea continues unless on a low sodium diet, in which case use a low sodium supplement.
