My brother is a 53-year-old type II diabetic with peripheral and proximal neuropathy, who is a functional alcoholic. His blood sugars are usually within the acceptable range of 120 to 150, but he has been feeling increasingly ill with symptoms like gastrointestinal complications, weakness, sluggishness, difficulty sleeping, and today he awoke with a greatly bloodshot eye and severe headache. What could be causing these symptoms?
