Test Results

We heard back from the doctor regarding the x-ray of her growth plate. It appears the growth plate is still open and she will still grow, but they concluded that she is 2 years behind on her growth. We already figured that much, but it's good to know that she will for sure grow some more even if it's behind schedule.
We also started testing her blood sugars for about 4 days this last week and they were okay for the most part. Interestingly enough, they went low (into the 50's) twice last Sunday. Both times were just one hour after she ate, which is weird. She was supposed to test 2 hours after she ate but both times she complained about being dizzy so I told her to test and sure enough: Low. She was fine the rest of the week and never went about 182. We were told to call if it was about 200, so so far so good on that. They weren't quite as concerned about it being low and obviously we just need to give her some juice or something to quickly get her sugar levels normal again. I say interestingly enough because he has complained about being dizzy off and on for about 2 years now and I'm sure this is why. We suspected it already and we have addressed it with her doctors, which is why we are watching her so closely. Along with the results of her last 4 hour glucose test, she is definitely symptomatic. We are still just trying to get her to eat more protein and less sugar, but once again is very hard with such a picky gal! :)

Appointment Update

We had another checkup yesterday. It was pretty routine and very quick. Everything went fairly well. They were happy with her weight gain, but are concerned about her growth. Her percentile has steadily been falling over the last year. She just isn't growing as fast as she should. She's only in the 4th percentile now and was probably a whopping 10-15 % last year. :) They were concerned enough that they ordered a x-ray to check her bone age at her growth plate. We haven't heard back yet, so we'll see what they say. Hopefully she's just slower and will have a growth spurt, but considering that her dad had similar issues, I'm not so sure.
We were out of there in record time, just over an hour. She looked so good in all areas besides her height that there wasn't much to talk about.
On the way home they ended up calling us and told us they were ordering us a glucometer and want us to check her blood sugar once a month for a about a week at a time. Before eating and two hours after all meals. Her blood sugar levels must have been more concerning than they originally told us from her last glucose testing in January. We are supposed to call if her levels go below or above a certain point. It's starting to make me a little nervous. We really need her to stop eating so many Carbohydrates, but unfortunately that's about all we can get her to eat at all so it's a lose-lose either way. I have been trying to add more protein into her diet when she does eat carbs to at least balance it out a bit.
We'll have to see what happens.
