Question: Is a blood glucose of 127 high for my 2 year old!. Who has just woken up in the morning!?
I am a type one diabetic myself!. I just wanted to test his levels because he has not had it check since he was born!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is normal!. Unless he is displaying symptoms there is no reason to check him!. A single reading is not diagnostic!. Newborns are checked to find out if they are hypoglycemic!.

"How Can a Person Tell When Blood Sugar Levels Are High!?
People with high blood sugar may:

pee a lot!. When blood sugar levels get too high, the kidneys flush out the extra glucose into your urine (pee), which is why people who have high blood sugar levels need to pee more often and in larger amounts!.
drink a lot!. Because you're losing so much fluid from peeing so much, you can get very thirsty!.
lose weight!. If there isn't enough insulin to help the body use glucose, the body starts to break down your muscle and fat for energy
