[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1971818, member: 372717"] Yes, those readings are outside the normal range. It's possible that there's something else going on other than diabetes, but I'd definitely be seeing a doctor asap to get it investigated. The good news is that there are currently no ketones, diabetic ketoacidosis is what kills young undiagnosed diabetics and your son doesn't (yet) have it. But to be on the safe side I'd probably ring 111 and tell them what you've posted here - there's no point in taking risks with a child's health and DKA can come on fast in the young. Good luck. Worst case, if your son has diabetes it truly isn't the end of the world. Modern technology and treatments are infinitely better than 48 years ago when I was diagnosed as an 8 year old, and it's not stopped me from doing anything in my life (luckily I never wanted to join the army or be an astronaut.:)).
