101 to 108 fasting Sugar level in 10 year old Son

Welcome to Healingwell, roney.  I'm not sure about children's blood sugar levels but I would guess the doctor is looking for the same levels as in adults.  Fasting should be under 100.  A non-diabetic's fasting would normally be in the 80's.

What does your doctor say about this? Has he given you any guidelines about diet, etc.?  Does he want to see your son back in the office for another blood test? 

Some factors may be influencing these fasting results.  Is there diabetes in your family (parents, grandparents, etc.)?  Is your son overweight? 

 

LOL, that can't hurt, but wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy? Generally it takes a combination of diet and exercise to manage or prevent diabetes, whether in adults or children. These days the culprit often is lack of exercise.

If your son is spending a large portion of his time watching TV or playing video games, try to help him find a physical activity to get involved in. If he's already active, encourage him to continue that. Watch the carbs in his diet - not just soda, but all sugars plus complex carbs such as pasta, bread, rice. Sometimes using whole-grain products helps. And try to include plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.

If he is becoming pre-diabetic these steps can help. If he is developing juvenile diabetes (which is an auto-immune disorder not caused by our daily habits) it can help with the control. If, as is most likely, he is a normal kid, it will establish healthy eating habits for his life and protect him from early diabetes, heart disease, stroke and any number of other conditions.

As Lanie said, it's important to communicate with his doctor about these results to get further guidance. Good luck to both of you.
