Hello everyone,
My son is 6 mos old ad i am a type 1 diabetic.Jjust on a whim i checked his blood sugar today and his level was 128. Granted that was prolly 30 min or so after eating a bottle. is this normal or is level a little high??? Any thoughts or concerns??
Thank You :0
When this happened to me I called my pediatrician and he said to do a fasting test the next morning and make sure the baby's hands were clean. My son's fasting blood sugar was normal. He's 7 now and does not have diabetes.
I later learned that post meal (postprandial) blood sugar below 140 is considered non-diabetic. So your son's level is normal.
Think most parents with diabetes are watchful for it in their children. I'm usually laid back but anytime my son had a lot of soggy diapers or looked pale I would test his blood sugar. After he got a little older I stopped stressing about it so much.
