They did do a simple finger stick but she was in range the two times they did the test. It wasn't until my sister-in-law who has a type 1 son who suggested I had her A1c ran. The doctor thought I was nuts for asking because the finger pricks were in range when he checked. He ran in anyways and that's when it confirmed she did have type 1 diabetes. This was a 4 month process of trying to figure out what was wrong with her. It was frustrating. I realize doctors are human and they don't always know what to do, but there has to be a better way to diagnose type 1 diabetics quickly. 1 year later my 4 year son was diagnosed with T1D. We caught his diabetes really fast just because I knew what to look for.

Such a simple test....<br /><br />I don't know how to get this culture of mis- or non-diagnoses to change, but whatever it is -- I'm fully behind you 100%.Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-32959922039406388382014-05-12T06:10:46.077-07:002014-05-12T06:10:46.077-07:00Couldn't agree more, Meri.

I really am a fan of what NY D-Dad Tom Karlya and Texas D-Mom Kim May are doing on that advocacy front, trying to create these grassroots public awareness campaigns that can be taken into local communities -- schools, doc offices, governments, and so on. Hope many in our community latch on and help carry that message. Thanks so much for writing this.Mike Hoskinshttp://www.thediabeticscornerbooth.comnoreply@blogger.com
