Hi guys. Just wondering about anyone’s opinion on the following:
My daughter aged 12 yrs went to the GP last week as she had been complaining of increased thirst, blurry vision, more toilet visits, tingling in legs.
GP did a blood test & found a reading of 27 but 0 ketones in urine. Admitted to hospital straight away.
No fasting blood tests carried out in hospital, a hbA1c reading of 88 discovered, however I’ve discovered hbA1c tests shouldn’t be used on children!
She’s been diagnosed Type 1 however we, as parents need a 2nd opinion.
Any thoughts or advice on this will be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks
Colin
