Update from peds endo

We got a call from Thomas' endocrinologist today. All of his test look normal. She made a point to tell me that this was just a "snap shot of Sept 2008" and that October or November could bring something new. After a slushie from Sonic this week he was 277. She has ordered him a new meter that insurance will cover and wants us to call her if he below 50 or above 300. She will continue to follow him and see him see him in 3 months at the clinic. She said that some children just go through a period where they have crazy blood sugars and that may be it, if so it should just go away. She also talked about another condition that has to do with your body not making insulin and that he may have that, most children go on to outgrow it but some do go on to develop type 1 diabetes. We check him four times a day and thankfully he does really well. Its almost like his pancreas works most of the time but fails some of the time, sometimes only under odd circumstances like the slushie and sometimes under normal dietary circumstances like his gluten free chicken nuggets?

Hummmm...well, at least it doesn't appear to be really serious at this point. We'll keep praying it all falls into place.
