@Jaylee Thanks so much for the advice, we went to docs after school and they going to run some more tests to find out why he’s experiencing the symptoms he is. He’s back to docs on the 1st so hopefully have some answers then we can start to move forward from there! Positive thinking [emoji106]

It was this morning I took that as soon as he strolled down the stairs at 6.30, hadn’t eaten nothing since 6:30 which was when he had his tea. And I believe so that was that test he had. The doctor did say on the phone this morning, when Harley had his blood taken had he eaten breakfast and I...

Thanks for your reply fruitella! I worry far too much, but in circumstances like these I guess you can never be too careful! They are testing him for his thyroid also, he’s lost 6lbs in 2 weeks! I noticed he was looking abit pale, gaunt, and had dark circles under his eyes but nearly dropped...

So I had my 5 year old son to the docs last week as he was displaying typical signs of type 1, tired all the time, thirst, weeing a lot etc. The doctor said the wouldn’t do a finger prick test and bloods have to be done at the hospital. Now he goes today for full bloods and also a glucose (non...
