His A1c test just jumped from 8.5 to 10.5. What I am confused about is that he had some sort of blood test performed that showed he would only ever have a mild case of diabetes. They also want to do a type of tolerance test to see how much insulin his body is still producing. They want to increase his insulin because they say his body had outgrown his dose. I am confused.
Antibody tests can sometimes be negative.
If your son's Hemoglobin A1c is 10.5 that's way too high, and he needs more insulin. Try to focus on getting the sugars under control and nothing else. I don't believe you'll be able to find any answers though I wish we had them for you. The bottom line is his diabetes is out of control and he needs more insulin to get things back in control to prevent long term complications. We used to think that negative meant all was okay.
