Would be grateful for any thoughts on this and hoping someone can tell me I'm worrying unnecessarily. My daughter has been very irritable lately, she seems thirsty a lot (although not dreadfully so) is ravenously hungry constantly and has been urinating more - not all the time but we often have periods where she'll go 2-3 times within 2 hrs with not much water in between. She's wet her bed in the last week despite being dry for two years. I've been a little concerned about diabetes but not too much as these are all very mild symptoms and could be down to anything else.
My son suffers from hypoglycaemia secondary to another medical issue so we have a blood sugar monitor in the house. When she woke up this morning she wet her pyjama trousers a bit and I just thought I'd finally test her BGL to put my mind at rest. I had been tempted before but thought I was being paranoid and resisted. She had had about 4-5 small rice crackers about 30 mins previously before I tested her otherwise nothing for about 11 hrs but her bgl was 9.3 which I was really surprised and a bit worried by. I've only seen a max of 7 when testing my son after bringing him out of a hypo.
So would that be a normal reading or should I keep monitoring her? My knowledge is all at the lower end of the bgl scale dealing with hypos so I'm not sure about the higher levels. I am hoping I am overreacting as we honestly have enough to deal with my sons many issues and don't want another set to deal with.
