My six and a half year old daughter has never been diagnosed with diabetes, although she frequently (at least once daily, sometimes more) has symptoms of hypoglycemia (headaches, shaking, irritability, crying, paleness around her mouth), can be uncontrollable, and often doesn't even remember when these times occur. I've spoken to the pediatrician a couple of times about my concerns and have tried to keep her eating a healthy diet every two to three hours. Sometimes that can be too long. She has difficulty during exercise, sometimes even after she has had a protein snack a half an hour beforehand. What are the next steps I should take? This has been going on for over two years and is getting worse as she is getting older and more active and involved with sports activities.
