Symptomatic, my son was diagnosed with type 1 in August 2007. In a short time, he was taken off Lantus and hasn’t needed it since. Could he be in a long honeymoon? Might he have been misdiagnosed?

My daughter was urinating a lot and had a high blood sugar on a home meter. At the ER, her blood sugar was normal, but I’ve checked her a lot at home. Based on her readings, what do you think of her situation? Should I continue to check her? I am worried this is the early onset of diabetes.
