So I had my 5 year old son to the docs last week as he was displaying typical signs of type 1, tired all the time, thirst, weeing a lot etc. The doctor said the wouldn’t do a finger prick test and bloods have to be done at the hospital. Now he goes today for full bloods and also a glucose (non fasting) at the hospital.
I took it upon myself to buy a home testing monitor to record his sugar level throughout the day. I’m going to write the results below, if anyone has any advice or feedback about the levels would be highly appreciated.
So....
3:15pm, 3 hours after dinner 5.8
5pm before tea - 5.5
5:50pm, straight after tea(very slow eater) 8.5
8pm - before bed 6.9
2am - during the night - 5.7
On waking - 5.4
Can anyone advise if these levels are okay for a 5 year old little boy? If they are then god knows what’s wrong with the poor little mite, he’s so under the weather!
Thanks everyone
Clare
