warriormom Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My daughter had a CBC panel done a few months ago. The pediatrician's office called me to tell me that her test was normal Today I picked up her labs for an upcoming specialist appointment. My 4 year old daughter's blood glucose level (non-fasting) was 175. The range shown for the lab for normal is 70-99. Is her blood glucose level concerning? I tried searching through google and I get contradicting information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 That seems pretty high, but had she just eaten or had juice or milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigs Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 70-99 is definitely a fasting range. You can ask for a hemoglobin A1C to give a better picture of her overall glucose state. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 How soon after eating was it? What had she eaten? Was she ill by any chance? Illness will raise blood sugar. If you are concerned, ask for a recheck. It's easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriormom Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 She had just eaten chicken nuggets and apple juice. No she was not sick. This was a well- child check up where I came with a "laundry list" of concerns. We found out she has ataxia, hypotonia, developmental delays and a speech delay. I just want to make sure I did not miss something. Her neurologist saw the results and did not flag anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Maybe it was the apple juice? I'd check it again, it's easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I second getting the A1C checked. You might consider a glucose tolerance test or something, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I don't think that's super high seeing as she had apple juice. If you're concerned you can have it checked. But juice is known to spike blood sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettechmomof2 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 With the carbohydrates from the chicken nuggets and the apple juice that is not too high. Was she stressed when they drew the blood at all? That can also falsely raise the blood glucose at the time of the testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
