With those types of symptoms, I wouldn't be surprised if he had another attack. The fact that he's diabetic doesn't help. The doctors will probably put him onto a couple of meds. You might also want to look into a pharmaceutical grade multi-vitamin and CoQ10. That's been used in Europe for years to combat heart disease.
