How likely is it to have a neg test but still have Diabetes?
My DD, Sarah is Dx as FTT (Failure to thrive)
they did the diabetes test, it came back negative.
She has urine reducing substances.
So they ran additional test: amino acid, metabolic screens, and
carbohydrated study of urine.
The tests finally came back, showing she has fructose overflow in her
urine. I have been mixing powdered formula with fruit juice.
Okay except - They went back to her June 25th test when she was 3
months
old. It too tested positive for reducing substances. NO Way it
could be fructose because she was solely breastfed back then.
So my babbling leads me to the fact we have more question now than
ever.
At was age were you (or child) Dx w/diabetes?
What Type is it?
Did it show up right away or did you have to be tested several times?
My understanding is that diabetes can be difficult to Dx.
Sarah eats 11 oz of formula a day. Yep, 11 oz, this is not a typing
error. She has never had a good appetite but the last 5-6 weeks it
has been horrible.
She will be one year old on April 4th and currently weighs 15lbs
10oz.
