Should I Be Worried About The Blood Sugar Level 220?
My 15 year old very active son was playing with a gluco-monitor and his level after drinking a mountain Dew was 220. So I took a fasting the next morning before school and it was 115. Yesterday 2 hours after lunch it was 63. He is 5' 8" and 130 lbs. Should I have him checked or take a few more consectutive levels?

Dear madam i can understand your concern.glucometers will give lot of errors so we can't take them valid for diagnosing diabetes.in my opinion it very unlikely for your kid to have diabetes but to be on safer side i suggest to do one test called Hba1c.This test can be done at any time and it will tell you perfectly....
