Question: What would cause blood sugar to spike in a non-diabetic child?

I took my six year old son to the doctor on Friday because he was seeing blurry and double. They pricked his finger and his blood sugar was 201. Then they took his urine and about 4 t o 5 vials of blood. They sent me home with a blood sugar monitor. A few hours later, his blood sugar was 156 and the next 3 tests have been 93, 98 and 110 (I think those last three are normal). So my question is, if he is non-diabetic, what other medical issues would cause his blood sugar to spike? Or perhaps false negatives can happen? Or blood sugar spikes can happen?

Also, I should mention he had a bagel at 7am and then two eggs at 9am and then that first 201 blood sugar test was done around 12pm.

Answers:

type 1 diabetes does indeed act that way sometimes in the initial stages. Honeymoon causes near normal natural insulin actions and then again it can be completely absent causing high glucose numbers.

Other causes are infection, illness, trauma, sugary fingers, alcohol on fingers, etc.

Demand blood draw testings to see if this child does indeed have either diabetes 1 mellitus or diabetes insipidus.

You haven't been clear on your child's chronic symptoms. Blood sugar can spike due to a carbohydrate load before his blood test Blood sugar should always be tested fasting. White coat syndrome (fright of physician) can alter blood sugar. If he is seeing blurry on a continues basis, I would take him to an opthamologist and have his eyes examined before seeking any other alternative medical route

a bagel is full of sugar
