Type 1 diabetes is different from Type II. Type one is where the pancreas completely stops producing insulin as to where Type II still have a partially functioning pancreas.

With Type 1, most times the hospitalize to not only monitor, but educate and prepare the person for the challenge they'll face as a diabetic. Educators will need to tell him how to eat the proper foods, how to adjust his insulin or possibly put him on a pump. He also may have ended up very sick and needed to be brought back to more manageable glucose levels.

Diabetes is a very serious, life threatening condition. He needed to be in the hospital to diagnose, treat, manage and train him and his parents how to deal with his new life. He now has to do blood sugar tests and insulin injections several times a day. He'll have to manage his food intact very closely and become very aware of how he feels constantly. Its a big deal but it's definitely manageable. He might be self-conscious, scared and depressed. Be a friend to him and be supportive, he needs it.

People with Type 1 diabetes are often thin until they are diagnosed with diabetes. This is because their body does not have enough insulin (the chemical that transports glucose into our cells) and therefore can not properly transport glucose (sugar) to the cells. Our cells use glucose for energy. He is very thin because instead of using sugar as energy, his body is using his fat as energy. He is in the hospital because he will need to receive insulin (the chemical that transports glucose into our cells) and will need to stabilize.

Could be any reason and may have nothing to do with diabetes. He could have had appendicitis or could have had problems with his blood sugar. There's no way to guess and also no reason to guess. If he wants you to know he would tell you.
