| The problem is that she may not know what to do with the number...example is that what if she was 250 before she left for school, gets to school 15 min later and feels low, tests and the meter reads 115..while that is not a low number, she may not understand that the 250 to 115 in just a few minutes is quite a drop, 6 is a little young to understand about "continuing to drop"......my sons meter is kept in his classroom and his aid is called whenever he wants to test..he does the testing and the aid oversees the numbers.....she would call me and say "sam feels low, he is at 115" I would direct her what to do becuse i know that he will continue to drop.....so while being able to test whenever is fine, a 6 yr old may have trouble knowing what to do with the number......
