My son was dx May 25this year and he is 14 ...the months prior to dx he was getting worse and worse in the morning and not wanting to eat. Now he is positively nauseous in the morning until 10:30 or so , so I have to pack him his breakfast too. Is this normal and should he have an empty stomach for the first 2 hours of his morning...he does not feel like eating at all and I have tried him with everything, normally he is a good eater being 5 foot 10 and 180 already at 14 but not in the am anymore!!!

Karen does your son wake up at a physically comfortable number? My 16-year-old son Danny has trouble with nausea and a lack of appetite in the morning if he wakes up with either very high or very low blood sugars. Therefore, we test him at 2:00 am and he tests himself as soon as he wakes up to insure glucose control overnight.Meanwhile, Dan says many of his teenage friends without diabetes don't eat
breakfast. If blood sugar levels aren't the cause, he suggests it could be
regular teenage behavior.
