I was diagnosed by a glucose test and a urine test. I have been a type 1 diabetic for 16 years now, and I think the fact that it was caught before it was out of control is why I have been able to do so well. Your pediatrician should be able to do a urine test and find out.

So when you had the glucose test what were your results? Was it completely out of control? My son had these tests a year ago and they came back very atypical. I don't think he had sugar in his urine but he has had a small amount of ketones.

My glucose was in the upper 260's. If your child is showing high glucose and ketones and your doctor isn't helping, you should try a new pediatrician or try going to an endocronologist who is more knowledgable on diabetes and would be able to explain things to you. I was diagnosed at 12, I'm 29 now and a new mother myself. I really feel that if you think something is off you should go futher with it, in a weird way mothers just know sometimes, it won't hurt your child, in the long run it will only help them live a longer healthier life
