Hello,
This post is about my 8 year old son.
My son recently had a blood test, the HBac1 and it should slightly high sugar levels (6.3). The doctor ordered more tests, in particular the flashing blood test.
My son did this and his fasting blood test was (6.1)... I’m assuming that’s pre-diabetes ?
What happens now ? Does he have to take medication ? Should I still keep finger pricking him ? Do I change his diet ?
I don’t understand how my son has pre-diabetes, he isn’t overweight, goes Football and swimming every week, though we do eat a lot of carbohydrates, so this may be the culprit.
My son has severe Eczema and takes a high potent steroid cream, should I discontinue with this ? As I’ve heard steroid creams raises blood sugar levels.
He also takes supplements, just the Cod liver Oil, do I stop taking this ? He also takes Espon salt baths, because of the Eczema (helps soothes his skin) should I stop this ? As I’ve heard it’s not good for diabetes?
Advice please !
