It was done for my son when he was finally admitted to emergency at the hospital then moved to Intensive care for severe diabetic ketoacidosis at 8 months old. My cry to my dr was please xray my baby or something hes miserable like he has broken bones! My GP gave thrush drops instead.

It is extremely important for accurate, early detection and diagnosis. My 5 year old son was diagnosed at the age of 3 1/2. He was in ketoacidosis at diagnosis, and the doctors told me if I had waited one more week to bring him in, he would have been comatose, or worse. Children need to be routinely checked for Type 1 at their check up. By doing so, it could help save thousands of young lives.

He is 8 yrs old. He was in so much pain for 4 days. The doctor said it was a tummy bug, constipation etc. After going back numerous times because he wasn't getting better, the doctor checked his BGL. We were admitted to emergency immediately. They all knew that we had a family history of type 1 but it took 4 days to diagnose. Not impressed!!
