I recently took my three year old daughter to the doctor because she was very lethargic. She had ketones and sugar in her urine so they took blood. Her blood sugar was 216 mg/dl [12.0 mmol/L]. At this point, she had not eaten all day. We took her to the Emergency Room. Three hours later, her blood sugar was 126 mg/dl [7.0 mmol/L] with no sugar or ketones in her urine. They said she had a urinary tract infection. So, they did not diagnose diabetes. Should we investigate this further?
