11. Spilling ketones, my son was diagnosed with type 1. We have yet to give him insulin because his blood sugar is always under 80 mg/dl [4.9 mmol/L]. Could he have been misdiagnosed? (17 Jun 2011)
12. Last year, my son had positive antibodies for type 1. He takes Lantus in the morning. In recent blood work, his insulin level was quite high. Is that because he has been on Lantus? (13 May 2011)
