ketotic hypoglycemia

[bigdaddyD86]

My wife and i just found out that our son of only 22 months now has ketotic hypoglycemia, but when we go to test he blood levels after he wakes up are normal but when we test him after he eats its lower then it should be. what is the reason for this happening? we make sure the foods he eats are right but his blood level goes down. we help some help to understand what is happening. thank you for time in reading my problem.

Hi, bigdaddyD86,

littlebit667 has a good idea but unfortunately, our Pediatric Endocrinology Expert forum isn't currently accepting questions.  You may want to ask our Pediatrics Expert a question here:

Or  you can talk with other parents in our Pediatrics patient support forum here:

There seem to be a few discussions in our forums about this subject, and I notice that several of them involve kids who are in your son's age range.  You might want to check them out as well:

Hope this helps!
