Thanks Juicy, But I’ve read threads on here, admittedly Adults with Type 2, said diet helped lower the HBac1 levels ? Could the same thing happen to Type 1 individuals?

Hello all, There was some concerned regarding my son’s elevated blood sugar levels. The recent test result showed his blood tests are within the normal range but I’m worried that going Low carb for a week, may have skewed my son’s test results and he may actually have slow onset Diabetes...

Thank you very much. I feel a bit on edge when there isn’t a conclusive diagnosis and we’ve been ordered to stop taking medication whilst going through all these tests, it’s difficult to wait. Plus, we don’t see our endocrinologist till in 2 months time. I’m find the re-testing very difficult...

Thanks ! But a C Peptide rest doesn’t rule out Diabetes? Or slow onset Diabetes? Doesn’t it ?

*update* I’m not sure what blood tests the endocrinologist did (all I know is she took loads) but all his blood tests came back normal, including the c-peptide tests. However, some kidney blood test was raised higher than normal so they want to double check if it’s a fluke. They are still...

What’s exactly is the renal... urial blood test ? Have you had that test before?

Yes, we are in the UK. I have a feeling it’s the endocrinologist that’s requesting the tests

Hello everyone, I’m getting really worried. My doctor is ordering more blood tests results after my son had a huge amount of blood taking done already. My son is currently being investigated for diabetes as his HBac1 first came to 6.3, then down to 6.1. We were ordered to take blood glucose...

I’ve booked an appointment with my GP ASAP, to try and see if I can get a lesser potent steroid and I’m in the process of consulting with my Dermatologist. The steroid cream, Elocon, is highly potent. If the Elocon is triggering my son’s BS levels and may cause him to develop type 1 diabetes...

I’m going to take advice the from the Endocrinologist and stop this particular high potent steroid.

What ?!!! My dermatologist didn’t tell me this ?!!!

We saw the Endo after we saw the Dermatologist, but the Endo wrote a letter to our Dermatologist detailing that we should quit the steroid. She reckons we have been overdosing :(. For my son, we applied the steroid but we were instructed to put banadges on top of the steroid to increase absorbtion.

Hello all, If you have read my previous threads. My 8 year old son had some recent hormonal tests done and his HBac1 was 6.3. My GP was worried as it was slightly high sugar level and sent us away to do extra tests and gave us a blood glucose monitor to test his bloods till he sees the...

Hello all , I am a non-diabetic. I tested myself, this morning, before breakfast, on my son’s Glucose monitor, and I’m 5.9 !!! I thought 5.5 was the Maximum GL for pre waking for a non-diabetic. Do I have Diabetes ?!

Sorry, take his blood 3 X a day (fasting/waking, pre meal dinner and after two hours dinner) for four times a week.

But does it take into account what we ate before ? As my son didn't eat all of his pack lunch in the afternoon, I just want to give the Endo a clear picture.

It was actually the Endocrinologist who informed the GP that we have to keep taking the blood glucose, for 4 times a week, Fasting, pre-meals and after two hour meals, till we see him/her next week.

Thank you ! Our Diabetic nurse basically said the same thing as the GP, as she's cared for children who have a similar profile to my son and most have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes by the Endo.. she also mentioned there could be something else, not related to Diabetes, going on but yes she...

I have been ordered to keep taking my son's blood glucose results till a certain date. This is a diabetic forum isn't it ? I'm asking if I should discontinue with that result because of the reason I mentioned above.
