Question from Canyon, Texas, USA:

My 10 year old granddaughter’s blood sugar is 186 mg/dl [10.3 mmol/L] after she has eaten. Can this be a sign that she has diabetes?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

A blood sugar of 186 mg/dl [10.3 mmol/L] is high — even for after a meal. Her parents should discuss this with her pediatrician for further advice about testing for diabetes that is likely necessary.
