[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2427484, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=547023]@svendenhowser[/USER] and welcome to the forums. I guess the good news is that she doesn't have the diagnosis yet, and you now know to keep an eye on things so that if she suddenly developed T1 you would get a diagnosis in time to treat it. Also, worst case scenario, if she has T1 it will upend your lives but the treatment for it is now so good that there is very little that it would prevent her from doing in the future. What are the doctors doing now, telling you to monitor? (As a T1 mother I used to occasionally get paranoid about my kids developing T1, but would test their urine rather than blood, as sugar passes over into urine at bgs greater than 10, so I always reckoned that a positive urine test would tell me if I needed to consult a GP. I don't know if this is an option for you, or whether the doctors want you to keep doing blood tests? Or are they letting you use a continuous glucose monitor such as the freestyle libre?) Can I ask where you are located? Am guessing not in the UK because of your time of posting. Though diabetes is the same the world over the treatment protocols and terminology can vary by country, as well as the availability and funding for diabetes technology. Lots of virtual hugs. I can only imagine how horrible it must be to be in limbo without a diagnosis, but even if she does end up having T1, you will get through this. [/QUOTE]
