When caller ID said Vanderbilt, I knew it wasn't good news. No one would be calling about Andrew, & good news about Kaitlyn could come in a email. She doesn't have an official diabetes diagnosis yet, but she barely missed it! Here are her numbers:
-10 minutes 88
time 0 min 86
30 minutes 169
60 minutes 221 :(
90 minutes 232 :( :(
120 minutes 194 (>200 at 2 hours on two occasions is diabetes)
Her A1c though is still fantastic at 4.8, where <6.0 is normal.
The impaired glucose tolerance paired with her antibodies for type 1 diabetes paint a pretty clear picture. Vandy even mentioned that she's having a strong honeymoon, which is the period at the beginning of the disease where you still make lots of your own insulin. She did say to watch for any symptoms, especially if she gets sick. We can go back for another OGTT before the six months if we are concerned.
continued prayers for your family...
