Is he taking insulin for his condition? I would guess that's what you're meaning by him having a hypo with him. Slurred speech and/or loss of coordination a big one to watch out for low blood sugar conditions. He'll almost seem drunk. He'll probably realize what's going on and have a candy or something to pick him back up. If he's passed out then alert the medical authorities. He probably won't have to worry about the high blood sugar causing emergency problems. Mostly headaches and various limb pain will alert him that it's getting high, but he'll probably just have to wait those out. It's the lows that really can cause distress in others.
My mom has had it since I was a wee one, so it's something I've had to deal with. Also, all four of my grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles. It's...only a matter of time, LOL
