Type 1
Not been around for a while but i think im seeing symptoms in a son, 2.5years old. Its probably paranoia (both me and his dad are type 1) and terroble twos combined.
He seems to be drinking quite a bit more, and therefore weeing more. He seems to be alot more cranky and tiring more.
I checked his blood earlier with a result of 13.something, but he'd not long before had a biscuit.

I intend to monitor him over the next couple of days but was just curious as to what symptoms parents noticed in todlers before diagnosis.
 
13.0 is high for a biscuit in a non-d. I'd take him to get checked out just in case, even if it's not D there may be an infection working it's way through and it's better safe than sorry. I'd do it today.
 
I'd say 13.0 is high too, even for a biscuit-boosted toddler :( Are you sure his fingers were clean?
 
I'm rather ashamed to say that it never actually crossed my mind about him having residue on his fingers.
I've just tested again, 2 hours post dinner, wiped finger first and its come in at 4.5

Ah! That's sounds better! 🙂
 
Phew @Akasha that's a relief. I never thought of that and I should have.

I bet your on your toes at times 🙂 Good luck with things 😉
