What about a level of 78 for a three year old after eating?
I know what you mean about having to put him through a glucose tolerance test...not fun.
Why don't you use a glucose monitoring system instead. I would check his glucose level first thing in the morning and then hour 1 and 2 after breakfast. That may give you a good indication of whether or not his glucose is out of whack.
I have twin boys who are 10, one of which is very active and thin and the other is not active at all and weighs 107 lbs. The one that is not active is alwasy sitting out from playing things because he complains of frequent headaches. I know that in adults headaches can be caused by high levels of sugar. I have diabetes as well and I know that it can be caused by genetics as well so I was wondering if his headaches could be a sign of rising sugar levels. I have not checked his sugar yet because I didn't want to put himthrough that for no reason, so if someone could help me out and let me know if it is something I should do. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
my daughter is almost 6 years old and her sugar ran 280 is that normal or is it to high ?
I have a daughter who is 14 and hypoglycemic. She has been complaining of being thirsty and not being able to quench her thirst. She says she doesn't have slavia. She also has been urinating a lot as well.
She has a grandmother, great- aunt, and great - uncle all on mother's side of the family that are diabetics. I tested her levels after school yesterday about an 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours after the following snack. It was an 80. But she had eaten a king size peanut butter cup candy bar ( 4 peanut butter cups) and drank a 20 oz size of lemonade. Does this seem low?
my husband and i are both diabetic, we both have type two but my husband is insulin dependent. i know it might sound a little odd but you can smell the sugar in the childs urine. my sons glucose level was 156 the other day. he is also urinating alot and has an odd smell to his urine and i am definately going to have him checked just to make sure he is alright.
