Hi Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood. Your father could keep the blood sugar levels in control by doing exercise and having diet which will not increase blood sugar levels. He should do exercise continuously for 45 minutes every day. There is no need to do heavy exercises just walking 45 minutes will helps a lot. He also should take medicines regularly.
