My 19 year old daughter was diagnosed with type�1 diabetes three years ago. Her brother is now 25 and ran a blood sugar of 153 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L] one evening, 73 mg/dl [4.1 mmol/L], another a few days later, was 114 mg/dl [ 6.3 mmol/L], and a week later, was 171 mg/dl [9.5 mmol/L]. We used a meter for these readings. Is this an indication that he developing diabetes? Does what a person who does not have diabetes eat give them high blood sugars like they would a person who has diabetes?
