People with diabetes have to learn to balance their food, insulin, and exercise to control their blood sugars. It is important that your friend work closely with a physician and dietitian to individualize his diabetes management. I would suggest that you ask your friend how you can be of help. You might ask him what his individual symptoms of low blood sugar are and how you can help him if you notice these symptoms. It is also a good idea to bring well wrapped food that won't spoil if it gets wet.
Cake decorating gel in plastic tubes is a good emergency food to keep at the pool.
