My eight year old son has type 1 diabetes and some of his school friends have become intrigued by his glucose testing. About one-hour before, he had a candy, but even so, this seems high to us. This boy is known to be a little hyperactive.
Curiosity is a nice thing most of the time.
However, in this case, I would always check with a child's parents before performing even a simple test such as a glucose screen with a meter. You are bound to let the parents know about this abnormal test once it is done. If this was an accurate test, then the child may indeed have diabetes. 1995-2001 Diabetes123 and Children with Diabetes . Comments and Feedback .
