Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jen&amp;Khaleb" data-source="post: 130504" data-attributes="member: 13077">You could be looking at a lot of things besides diabetes.  Do you suspect diabetes because of family history?  You obviously have a blood glucose meter at home.  Blood glucose does vary in non diabetics and depending on when you took your readings the higher ones might mean nothing.  You haven't said how long you feel that your child has had symptoms that have concerned you.If you have any concerns at all you really should make an appointment to see your doctor or if your child is getting noticeably worse go to your hospital A&E.  A blood test could confirm or put your worries to rest.  The levels you have quoted are only slightly high (normal 4 to 8) and I'd think near impossible to reduce with insulin without a huge hypo risk.  T2 diabetes is also on the increase in children and something to consider.Your instincts are telling you that something has changed or isn't right so go and get some investigations done.</blockquote>
