From my understanding, they are supposed to make him comfortable and treat any bad symptoms he may be having that cause pain or discomfort. Having a high blood sugar like that should cause discomfort so I don't see anything wrong with what you did and I would talk to the doctors to find out why his blood sugar wasn't being managed.
I don't think you did anything legally wrong.
