MRSCORA01: Too young for type 1? My son is now 12 yrs old... he was diagnosed at the age of 8 moths old. I want to applaude you for checking your kids sugar , even for " fun", I do this to my 7 yr old also .I worry w/ her dad and brother being dm type 1 that she will end up w/ it also.Ur being very proactive by keeping an eye on her. I also know that sometimes my 7 yr old who is none dm , that she can spike after meals, I normaly wait 2 hrs and every 2-3 months do a " sugar check" on the whole family, she thinks this is cool, she can be like her dad and big brother.View Thread
