A member asked:
My 5 year old has type 1 diabetes and for the last few days her sugars have been all over the place. what do we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DM nurse educator : This is fairly common but still needs medical attention. At our institution, parents will contact the diabetes nurse educators or physicians to figure out the problem and help to fix it. Illness, increased or decreased physical activity, eating differently, getting Insulin late, etc. These are all possibilities and will be worked out by a child's diabetes team.
