What is that? October 22, 2013 Posted in: Diagnosis and Symptoms Read I work to keep my 11-year-old in a tight range, 4 to 7 mmol/L [72 to 125 mg/dl].

September 18, 2013 Posted in: Diagnosis and Symptoms Read Diagnosed three months ago, my toddler has elevated pre-dinner blood sugars. Is it because she naps in the afternoon?
