Hubby Type 2, grandmother Type 1 and daughter undergoing testing for possible diabetes - that's the background. I am not madly randomly testing my kids, honest! :mrgreen:
So my son saw us testing our daughter's sugars and being the nosey 4.5 year old he is, he has, on occassion, wanted to get in on the action.
Random results are usually pretty normal. We obviously do not test him on any regular basis, just when he sees daddy or sister having it done and asks so this is not a complete picture at all, just me throwing random weird reading out there taken several days apart, at different times.
He had a 7.9, 2.5 hours after a meal which then went up to 8.1 at 3 hours. 6.5, 5.5 hours later. Seemed to take longer than I had thought to come back down towards normal non-diabetic levels.
He had a 9.8, 2 hours after a meal which then went down to 7, 45 minutes later. And I have to tell you he was running around like crazy with his sister before the first reading, for a good 20 minutes which I would have thought would have burnt some mmol/L's off.
I *know* it's not alarming levels or anything but those numbers are considered elevated, right?
He has suddenly developed a huge hike in appetite and actually is drinking more too but I'm assuming this is just because he's a whirlwind at school all day and filling up when he can. That would explain the rise in pee'ing in the day. He doesn't appear to be pee'ing any more than usual at night though.
Compared to his sister who has definitely more normal BS readings, but every single diabetes symptom in the book, I'm not overly concerned, just more nosey about whether these readings mean anything at all or are just a variation for whatever reason.
