She is only 14 but is very skinny and active. We have been taking her blood sugar readings to get a feel for how they are because we are suspecting diabetes. She has readings like these: 168, 163,161, 159, 155 etc. and more over 140. She also has been as low as 62. Her a1c tests showed that her a1c was 5.7%. Her doctor thinks that she very well may be on her way to Type 1 diabetes and that her pancreas may be shutting down. How long do we have till that happens and she is full blown diabetic? Do you think this sounds like Type 1 diabetes? Thank you VERY much!
