Lots of people are affected like that after going on these rides.

He should as his GP if he is concerned though.
If anything, the adrenaline released would cause blood sugar levels to rise.
Diabetics can ride rollercoasters with no problems. However, like a rollercoaster, blood sugar levels can rise and fall dramatically. It's advisable to keep an eye on them, but most diabetics usually suffer no ill-affects.
