I think I remember your post last year, and I'm sorry that your daughter is still struggling to enjoy good health.  

I'm not sure if we provided you this link, but if not, perhaps the folks at the Association for Glycogen Storage Disease can offer good help:  http://www.agsdus.org/  While I don't know anything about this group from personal experience, their website suggests that are committed to support of patients & families and that they have professional medical input to help them.  This model is important, since we patients are never as well-informed as those in the forefront of medical research & practice.

Perhaps others with experience with GSD in children will read here & post other helpful information.  This all seems to be very difficult to manage, and I wish you well.

This site has a handy blood sugar conversion chart:

Labs also have different target ranges related to their particular equipment, so you need to compare your child's numbers with your lab's normal numbers.

Good luck to you in your quest --
