Yes, my Mother in Law has type 2 diabetes - she was diagnosed last year and has a very poor diet unfortunately, so we have used her kit. I haven't a clue what any of the readings mean to be honest and only suspected strongly once the paramedics said her BG was low considering she had eaten...

Yes the 3.3 was before eating and after having some squash (not pure juice) sorry head is all over the place ! I will test in the morning before she eats or drinks anything and make a note of it. Is this latest reading of 11.5 normal for a 10 year old 90 minutes after eating and could this be...

To be honest I can't quite remember, probably around 40 minutes I think, it definitely was under an hour after.

Hi everyone, so my daughter has been very tired for most of the day, she hasn't moved from the sofa had a couple of teary episodes this morning too. Her reading this morning was 3.3 (after a glass of pure juice) she said she felt too sick to eat. She did manage and apple and a couple of bites of...

Thank you very much for your reply. I am starting to think that is is unlikely to be diabetes with her readings not being at all high - as mentioned to the previous reply I tested her this morning after she had a bit of an 'emotional' moment (which is completely out of character) and it was 3.3...

Thank you - She woke me this morning crying (no particular reason why) I got her to lie in bed with me and her little heart was really racing so I just tried to calm her down by talking about a potential holiday etc. I then tested her again and it came in at 3.3 but she hadn't eaten at that...

Thank you for replying, she is 10years old and never so much as had a bad cold before never mind fainting and fatigue etc. It all seems very scary! Am I understanding this right - a low reading does not signify diabetes? I known nothing about it and just want to see what I think it could...

Thank you so much! I will definitely get her checked out just at a loss as to what it could be and don’t want to seem like a neurotic pushy mother but you just know when something is wrong and I am hoping I get some answers soon. Thanks again x

Thank you so much for replying! For Breakfast my daughter ate (quite a big) bowl of Cheerios and a full glass of squash. She was tested about 1 hour after this which was 3.4 then she had a roast gammon dinner with a little bit of mash lots of veg and large Yorkshire pudding followed by a slice...

Hi, my daughter has had the following symptoms and I would be so grateful to hear your thoughts on if they sound similar to anyone who has experienced diabetes? Dizziness (last week she passed out after a dizzy spell and banged her head really badly on the garage wall) - we took her to the...
