Yes: You still need to cover the carbs he had for lunch; check his blood sugar as directed by his treating physician. He should have specific instructions on how to manage his diabetes- insulin: carb ratio/ correction, what to do when low , how much carbs to give when active etc. Education is key to success! you need to understand ; be comfortable about diabetes to be able to control it better
