my 10yr old son 4ft6in 114lb dx hfa, odd, anxiety, adhd meds - concerta 36mg, celexa 40mg, risperdal .5mg x2, trileptal 300mg x2 vitamins - d3 1000iu, fish oil my son has been on all meds except trileptal for years. trilepal was added three months ago. his appetite has always been greater than expected for a child his age and with the introduction of risperdal it increased even more. now with the trileptal my son wants to eat from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep. yesterday i figured up his caloric intake. it was over 3,500 calories. i try to offer good foods but these are rebuffed for the chicken nuggetts and corndogs that i keep for snacks. my concern is that he may be developing diabetes or something related. i have had his fasting blood sugar and a1c checked. i was told it was ok but to me the numbers were borderline for a child. sugar was 187 and a1c was 5.8 just trying to get another physicians view thanks, michelle YYYY@YYYY
To diagnose diabetes one of the following is needed a random sugar of more 200 MG or a fasting blood sugar of more than 126 with signs and symptoms of the disease and HBA1C more than 6.5 your child is having HBA1C of less than that, but his random blood sugar is high I recommend an oral glucose tolerance test before saying this kid had diabetes or not
