My six year old son has had diabetes for ten months, and last night, my husband and I noticed that our four year old daughter has been thirsty a lot recently. So, I tested her blood sugar about an hour after dinner, and it was 175 mg/dl [9.7 mmol/L]. We tested her this morning and it was 102 mg/dl [5.7 mmol/L] fasting and 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L] two hours after her breakfast. What caused her to have an elevated reading last night? Is that normal?
