[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1588599, member: 32394"] Have you been given a means to test for ketones? If the clinic have told you not to change his diet, then don't change his diet. Should investigations confirm a diabetes diagnosis in a slim 11 year old it would be type 1 diabetes which is NOT managed by diet, low carb advice is for type 2 diabetics. Type 1 is managed by insulin. 18 is a high reading and if I were you I would be contacting the clinic on Monday morning to report those levels and seek advice advise on next steps. Is it a diabetic clinic that have asked you to do theses readings of a GP? If it is a GP, seek referral to the diabetic clinic and contact the diabetic specialist nurses for advice. You could do this without a referral by googling the contact number for DSNs at your local hospital. [/QUOTE]
