    Non diabetic 7.6 2hours after eating

    Metformin does lower bsls and you are on quite a high dose. This suggests to me that you are probably at least pre-diabetic and as such you may want to look at lowering your carb intake.

    Is a fasting level of 4.1 too low for a child?

    My daughter eats a very healthy diet, she hardly ever has junk food, processed foods or refined carbs. I fail to see the harm in providing a wholefoods diet for any child let alone one who potentially has blood sugar issues

    Is a fasting level of 4.1 too low for a child?

    Thank you for your reply I do not test her often just every now and then but I will try to do it less often and I will take her to the doctor if my concerns continue.

    Is a fasting level of 4.1 too low for a child?

I think she's diabetic because when she eats carbs her blood sugar levels afterwards are not normal ie they are around 9 two hours later and that is based on a moderate amount of carbs in around 50g. We recently saw a level over 11 one hour after my...

    Worried my daughter has type 2 diabetes

    We do eat pretty low carbs at home, she has a lot of carbs at day care though which is really worrying me, I'm going to ask if she can start having a packed lunch from home.

    Worried my daughter has type 2 diabetes

    Hi, yes it could be, I'm more worried about the blood sugar levels than the hunger. She would have only had about 20g of carbs when I tested her in the weekend, and 7.6 freaked me out
