[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 1371759, member: 13582"] I was told by a pediatrician that bloods in toddlers can be much more variable than in adults. The key thing is is there is glucose in the urine; as that indicates that blood sugars are elevated to an such an extent that the 'renal threshold' is met and the kidneys start trying to get rid of excess glucose. You can buy glucose test strips in any chemist to keep an eye on this. I would also say supplement him with Vitamin D3. Here is my go-to study on this: [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11705562[/URL] That show a 78% reduction (relative risk not absolute risk) in the development of Type 1 diabetes in those children who in the first year of their lives supplemented with vitamin D3! I give both my boys 1,000 IU every day from October to April. You can get vitamin D3 drops (at 1,000 IU a drop) from Amazon. As you are pregnant you should take this too (but confirm with your doctor/nurse). I hope everything goes well. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
