[QUOTE="JJ4, post: 169248, member: 13875"] My son is 6 and lately both myself, my husband and also my son's Grandmother have noticed his increased thirst and increased trips to the toilet. He also has had a few accidents in the night and some slight accidents in the day, having been fully dry and trained since he was 4. My husband has Type 2 and so we're aware of these things and have a meter to hand. I tested my son randomly and his BSL was 12.1. I tested again later and it was 7.6. He has a history of higher than normal BSL when we've randomly tested but more in the region of 8-9, nowhere near a 12 though. Given that he has symptoms now though, I'm obviously more concerned. Would a professional opinion be in order or should I just dismiss this one high reading we've seen? Can an undiagnosed Type 1 have a honeymoon phase, as such, where without treatment, they'd have a mixture of high and near normal levels or would it just be high all the time still? Before anyone says it, I *know* no-one here can diagnose, I know and understand that, I'm just seeking others opinions at this time. I'm not stupid enough to be looking for anyone other than a medical professional to give me a diagnosis. :wink: [/QUOTE]
