Hello.  I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  The combination of low blood sugars, obesity, and sweetened soft drinks don't make much sense.  He is getting obese because of things like the soft drinks.  If he's drinking them all the time, then it's not because of low blood sugars, it's because he enjoys the flavor.  If it was because of low blood sugar, he would only drink them when he was low.  You don't say if he's diabetic or not, but if he is then he's got even more issues.  I'd recommend he visit his doctor to work out his health issues, and possibly see a dietician as well.
