Thanks for the reply. It was very informative. She’s not over weight, and doesn’t drink sugar drinks. She was a 6mo baby. I don’t suppose being premature has anything to do with the diabetes. We were all shocked as she has always been so healthy. Thanks again.

If she was diagnosed as a type 2, then she should be making her own insulin. They check for that by checking peptide C or Insulin C-peptide, two names for the same thing.

You never say never in medicine, but extreme physical stress like trauma can be associated with elevated blood glucose, aka hyperglycemia. Your body makes cortisol when it's very stressed. It's your own steroid hormone made in the adrenal gland.

She wasn't taking any medicine or supplement that could cause hyperglycemia, was she? This story doesn't really add up without obesity in the picture. Was she eating a lot, drinking a lot and urinating a lot? Those are the symptoms when a diabetic is in trouble. You may have to rule out Munchausen syndrome if there's no physical basis for the diagnosis.
