My six year old daughter has had frequent stomachaches and headaches for over eight weeks. She also has frequent urination, thirst, and hunger, and is easily upset at times. We did a fasting blood sugar which was 69 mg/dl [3.8 mmol/L]. I want to have a glucose tolerance test done, but wonder if it is necessary when her blood sugar was a little on the low side instead of high side.
