I am a type 1 (insulin dependant) diabetic of 12 years. I am a mother of 3 baby girls. My 2nd child has been excessively aggitated lately so last night I took her blood sugar to see what it was. It was about midnight and she hadn't had much to eat all day and her sugar was 69 which to me would be just barely out of range on the low side. I fed her a good size helping of rice and chicken (which obviously has a lot of carbs) and she went to sleep. About 11:30 this morning I checked it again and again she had had nothing to eat yet. It was 63. Again, low. Please keep in mind that she is not on and high blood sugar correcting medication. Wouldn't you think that if she is diabetic it would be sky high after eating all that rice and no insulin? Is this a normal blood sugar for infants? (She is 14 months) Do you think she could just be hypoglacemic? I need opinions.... Thanks
Before anyone suggests this, I already have called her pediatrition and am waiting for their call.
