And showed a trace last time and I just checked his BG which was at 9. Ok thats on the higher end of the range but he'd had a lolipop an hour or so before that.When you say a glucose tolerance test it reminded me, I asked about one at the hosp and got told that its ridiculous they wouldnt do one for him coz its not something thats very indicative of diabetes. I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall......what else can I do? I'm tempted to keep an eye on it myself until I think its moving too far. I know the signs of ketoacidosis and what to look for if his levels are high so I think if I keep an eye on him all the time and keep testing his urine and when I get to, his BG reading and monitor them all. I should write them down too. The GP seemed content on me keeping a close eye on him. What do you think? What readings should i be seeing as a problem?x</blockquote>
