My grandson age 6 complained of a headache yesterday stomach cramps & started vomiting. This morning he woke up shaking. My daughter checked his sugar & he was 63. Her 4 yr old was dignoised with type 1 @ 6 months of age. The 4 yr old is on an insulin pump. My daughter took him to the ER. Blood work normal A1C normal but had large keatones present. Does this mean he is diabetic also??? He will see his dr on monday. I am so upset over this. I have 2 daughters & they each have a child type 1. We have checked family history & no one has this horriable diease. Im so sorry, will wait till monday when we see the dr. I didnt relize I had to pay. Happy Easter to you & yours.
