Hello there!
I've had Type 1 for 20 yrs
My non-diabetic toddler woke me the other morning asking for the juice on my bedside cab and glugged the whole lot down with trembling hands. I thought she seems hypo so I used my kit to test her and it was 2.9!?
I went downstairs and got her some sugary juice and a banana as my juice was sugar free...
Tested her 2 hrs later and her BG had gone up to 11.5??? I was rather shocked and so washed and dried her hands so definitely no sugar on them. Re-took the test and it was still 11.5
Did a few more tests that day and the only other one almost out of range was 7.2
I don't normally test her I promise! I've only ever tested her 3 times before but just had a bit of a shock that morning so followed it up.
Dr says it can't be diabetes because she was 2.9 1st thing in morning.
Can anybody enlighten me what it could be other than diabetes if her blood sugars fluctuate as much as this???
She does wee and drink a LOT so I am a bit suspicious...
Grateful if anyone knows what else can cause bloods to do this. Thanks!!
Worried mum
