Most of us who have experienced TSH levels that high have done so during cancer treatment. Short term it just makes you feel horrible. Long term, yes, it can be very serious. Are you being treated by, or referred to, and endocrinologist?

There was just a report on the news last week that statins have been linked top type II diabetes. My wife is on 80mg of Simvastatin while I'm on 20mg. Coincidence or not, we both contracted type II in recent years. I believe that the benefits pf statins outweigh the risks and have altered my eating lifestyle so to nearly exclude carbohydrates. This has enabled me to continue statin regime while keeping my fasting blood glucose levels at acceptaptable unmedicated levels.

Type 1 diabetes in children usually comes on very quickly with consistently high numbers, so it is, indeed, puzzling. Was she on any kind of medication recently that could account for sudden rise in blood sugar? At any rate, an appointment with a pediatric endo is the way to go. I'm sure they told you if her numbers get high again and she experiences flu-like symptoms and vomiting to bring her to the ER. Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes.
I'm a mom of diabetic....get him to the hospital now if you haven't already. At his age, his keytones will skyrocket with dehydration. He'll probably need an IV for fluids and a suppository to stop the vomiting if you can't get fluids into him. Get the on-call number of his Diabetes Dr. or clinic. They should be able to talk you through treating symptoms before they require hospitalization.
I was just recently diagnosed with type2. I can't seem to get my morning number below 110.
I have had my husband use Glucagon on me a number of times in the past to help me when I was severely hypoglycemic, and I truly believe it can be a real life-saver. There are GOOD drugs that when used properly help us, and there are 'bad' drugs that destroy people. Nobody with any knowledge of them would compare the two.
One major benefit of your efforts is that you may have picked up a problem in need of immediate treatment (and which can be treated) earlier than your OB would have picked it up on his/her own -- but you must share this information with your OB immediately in order for needed action to be taken in a timely fashion (if any is judged needed).
Hello CreekVBall,
Markie offers good inforamtion below. Most of us with Type 1 make no insulin and that is why we all take injections or use an insulin pump. It is not exacatly the lack of "making insulin" that causes us our most serious risks, it is more the lifestyle choices we make (or don't make) to compensate.
Again like Markie, I've had diabetes for several decades and -- unless we find the cure before then -- I expect to have it for several more.
It is not uncommon that hypo-glycemia can preceed diabetes in some people. Hypo-glycemia is a condition in itself, as well, and when you look for a second opinion, seek out the advice of a pediatric endocrinologist. These folks specialize in the endocrine system, and will be very familiar with both hypoglycemia & diabetes.
WAK is 100% right in encouraging you to trust your knowledge of your daughter and to be a relentless advocate for her.
I was diagnosed with my first. I saw a dietician and specialist every 2 weeks for the last couple months. They sent us to 'school' and taught us how to read lables and how to balance our meals to help keep glucose levels consistent.
I had to test my blood a few times a day and inject insulin once a day, then twice and eventually after every meal to keep everything normal. I followed the diet to a tee and still ended up being induced a few days early because my insulin levels.
I do not know if I am at the right forum, but I have always heard that burning and numbness in hands and feet is a sign of diabetes!!!!??? Anyone ever experience these sensations before? If it is serious we will go to the doc but it is hard because we have no insurance and cannot afford it. Should we go anyway?
3 mg/dL. Typically people with greater muscle mass fall toward the higher side. I think your number is measured in micromol/L. If this is correct, take your number 205 and divide it by 88.4 to convert to mg/dL. This gives us a number of 2.31 mg/dL which is still high. A few thoughts....
Your UA makes me think that you do have some degree of kidney damage as well as uncontrolled diabetes. Typically sugar is not seen in the urine until blood sugars reach 200+ mg/dL.
