Our daughter,5 w Cf is supposed to be tested for diabetes, just because she's 5. I hate to put her through this if not necessary. Wouldn't she have symptoms? She has a lot of fear issues that we've worked through just from bronch and home iv, when she was 18 months and routine clinic visits. When she was 4 she would run from the nurse who wanted to weigh her. We worked with a psychologist for a whilw. I hate to start back at square one, she's been doing great with clinics for the last year. Any suggestions.

Does she get annual blood work? DS gets vitamin levels, liver function tests, glucose, cultures, hemoglobin, etc. done each year at one of his regular clinic visit.

she gets annual bloodwork which she is due for at time of testing. The only vitamin level which was down was A and she took extra for a while. And I looked in my file but couldn't find any results for any of her previous bloodwork, I'm thinking they would of told me if anything was up.

When DS gets his annual bloodwork done, it's ONE stick, one draw -- they take quite a bit -- 10 cc to test for everything. I always request a copy of the labs be mailed to me, so I can forward them on to DS's primary doctor in the City and that's why I know they tested his glucose level - non-fasting though.
