Type 1 and high bloods

[Chappers131]

Hi my 6 year old was diagnosed two weeks ago I've just done her bloods and they were 15.9 ketones are lo .... Is there anything u can do to help bring them down?

Is your daughter on a twice daily injections or multiple daily injections, meaning she injects before each meal?

Try ringing the NHS on 111 and they will advise you further.

She is multiple injections

She is multiple injections

I would phone the NHS helpline and ask for advice, none of us can advise on adjusting insulin doses I'm afraid.

I would see your diabetic team as well, normally there are 'sickday' rules like these in place

Do you have access to the ward where she was kept after diagnoses as they should be able to help or an on call paediatrician can be called.

These definitely sound like concerns to take to your doctor! Recently, I had a test done that showed my A1c levels at 8.5%, normal is around 6%. This is a blood test that tests the glucose levels of your blood for a 3 month average and is an indicator of pre diabetes. I also had high cholesterol. Total was at 239 which is considered borderline high. I started a plan in March that has helped me lose weight, lower my cholesterol and bring my blood sugar down to normal. All without medication. I hope your visit goes well tomorrow and that your test results turn out better than mine were.
The good news is that there is a solution out there that doesn't require medication. If you want to know about it, please check out this website. Please ALWAYS get the advice of your doctor.
