Should I be worried?

Hi, My husband and two of my children have type 1 D. I have a younger child aged 2 who is fine, but we often do random blood checks on her. This morning she woke up and immediately asked for food and some water. I decided to do a blood check and was rather shocked to get a reading of 1.9 and then another immediately after of 1.5! She seemed fine in herself and even though i gave her some breakfast she seemed rather fussy about it and didn't devour it like I expected her too. She has been unwell this week with a sickness bug and has generally been off her food and I wondered whether this was the reason for such a low reading or whether this is something that I should be concerned about. You can understand that with 2 of her siblings and her father being diabetic that I am a little paranoid! Thanks Leggott

Leggot,

I would take your little one along to see your gp, the reading is quite low as you know, and as she has been unwell the past week, I would get her checked out.
