Well, the last two days, Boo has been running in the 90s. One reading of 114. I have no clue what's going on, but I really hope the highs were an aberration. I'm going to continue to check her three or four times a day for the next couple of weeks, just to make sure. Even once I get the all clear, I'll probably still do checks a couple of times a day.
It's weird, though. Now I'm left to worry if this is pre-diabetes or if she had some sort of low-grade virus that was spiking her sugar or what. I'll be calling the doctor tomorrow, unless, of course, she spikes a couple of highs in the mean time. I'm going to tell him what I'm doing and hopefully he'll agree that it's a good idea.
I'm a little put off by this pediatrician, to be honest. I went in with legitimate concerns and felt as though he thought I was being paranoid and a hypochondriac on Boo's behalf. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't get a thrill out of taking my kid to the doctor's (even though she thinks it's great) and I certainly don't want her to be sick, in any way. But when you already have a child with diabetes and another child starts wetting the bed and having high blood sugars, I think the doctor should take you seriously.
I remember the struggle I went thru with Olivia, trying to get someone, anyone to listen to me when I said there was something NOT RIGHT with her. It took weeks of me dragging this poor, sick child to the pediatrician's before someone thought to check her for sugar in her urine. At that point, she was very sick indeed.
I was trying to avoid that with Boo. And while I sincerely hope that there is nothing wrong with her, if there is, I want it caught sooner rather than later.

I can understand where you are coming from. When my son was little, he showed signs of prediabetes. He is 14 now and still every so often, shows higher blood sugar readings. Ive been trying to tell his pediatrition that I think he has prediabetes, but for many years, the dr wouldnt listen to me. Ive always been told to watch him and test his blood sugar from time to time. I still do that, but as like you, I want to catch it earlier than later. My mom waited till almost till I was dead before she would take me to the dr. If she would of waited till the Monday after the weekend, I would of died.
