Type 1 diabetes?????!
Question:
Type 1 diabetes?????
Can a kid with early Type 1, who is still making insulin, have some days with normal BG readings and some days that are like over 200? How big a part is the activity level? My kid is extremely active most of the time. How much do the BG readings flucuate if they still have some insulin?
I know that most don't catch this thing until it has already destroyed all or most of the beta cells, but how many of you caught it a little earlier? I need all of the info I can get and about all websites are for those diagnosed.

The key is when the glucose is being checked. Before eating is the time to take the blood. If you take it after a meal the number will be higher. Always remember to take the reading befoer the meal and about the same time each day. If it is still a problem before the meal then the kid needs to be on medication everyday. Hopefully this helps. You can ask me another question if you want.
