Sounds like you need to go to the diabetes specialist? Elevated sugars for that long COULD maybe be an infection somewhere or a surge in hormones (has she started menarche yet?). I know MY blood sugars get through the stratosphere just before my period. I have to increase my NPH or intermediate acting insulin when this happens.

Can I support you into getting it looked into by your physician? Better to be safe than sorry. Poor girl must be feeling really yucky! My empathies!
