[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2459224, member: 372207"] Hi [USER=550494]@Colhammo[/USER] , welcome to the forum. Hba1c tests are used on children all the time, and have been used on children for decades. 27 mmol/l is a dangerously high glucose level, which won't be seen in non-diabetics. She also had all the symptoms. Not everyone develops ketones easily, no ketones in her urine is very good, as a diabetes diagnosis is enough to deal with without also having to deal with ketoacisis. She'll be having fasting glucose tests every day from now on, and multiple daily non-fasting glucose tests too. If a 12 year old presents with symptoms, a high hba1c and very high blood glucose, type 1 is the only logical conclusion, I'm sorry. It really sounds like they're doing exactly the right thing at the moment. Please have a read of this thread, I think you'll find it very helpful!
