On Wednesday Connor will be following up with his TrialNet results and going in for a glucose tolerant test in London.
Funny side note: Kylie asked us when we (myself, my husband and Connor) will be going to England? LOL...we are going to London Ontario NOT London England...funny kid!!
Anyways, since Connor has been tested and confirmed positive for 1 out of the 4 diabetes related autoantibodies it is time to follow up with a glucose tolerant test. He is a little nervous about the needle and I'm a little nervous about the results. There has been no other signs from Connor of T1 but man I hate this waiting game, this never knowing WHEN or IF it will strike one of your other children...it's exhausting. If any of my other kids are going to develop T1 in 1, 3 or 15 years from now...I just want to know NOW...ugh, lets get this shit over with!
UGH!
Connor has been on a 150g (or more) Carb diet since Sunday, he has until Tuesday night to eat 150 carbs or more and then he is fasting until the testing is done on Wednesday. This carb counting has got me thinking about all of you out there with 2 or more children with T1 and all I can say is
YOU ROCK SUPER STARS!
I'm not even administering insulin or fighting with D, I'm just simply counting carbs and of course logging...I hate logging (I'm not even sure if they need me to log but I'm logging) and this shit SUCKS!

praying that the results come back in your favor. I don't want antmore sweet littles to join this club.
Hi Nicole,
Please don't panic. My daughter tested positive for 1 antibody as well. When she was tested again a year later, it was not present. If she was positive again then they would have done the glucose tolerance test.
The Trialnet person actually told me they had a girl that tested positive for each antibody at different times throughout her life. She's in her late teens and never developed diabetes. She never had more than one positive antibody at one time.
Hang in there! Praying for a negative result!
Thank you! We are in a good place with it. If it happens to any of our kids...it will suck BUT we will deal :) Just like everyone else.
I am very interested to see what the glucose tolerant test brings!!
Feeling for you!
We had Bug tested at FFL and are awaiting the results. I want to know and I don't want to know, ya know?
I wish, like you, it would tell not only if the antibodies are present, but when they might start attacking!!
Hoping for good results...whatever that is!! :)
Awwww...sure hoping that he passes. AND totally GET wanting to know NOW!!! xo
