levels in non diabetic teenagers..

[Scarlet]

bit of a bizzare question,

My nephew who is 15 and has ADHD was uber interested in me testing my blood, asked me to test him which i did, and his reading was 8.1 before breakfast....ok so 8.1 isnt that high but as he is meant to be a healthy (although only weighs 4 stone) teenager it worried me, he has a Dr's appointment in 2 weeks for his ADHD meds, should i mention this? or is it completely normal?

thanxs

Hi scarlet.

First of all 8+ is high for any non diabetic.

As he has ADHD and he only weighs 4 stone ? it is definitely something you should discuss with a GP.

Tests may need to be carried out. There are many reasons why this level could have been achieved ?
Not all are Diabetes related.
