Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help. My 5 year old son was diagnosed type 1 at the beginning of feb. Since then he has been so hungry it gets him upset. His diabetes was caught extremely early he had no ketones as his dad is also type 1 and we noticed his thirst and toilet trips and checked him right away. Now i know that for the first month or two this hunger thing is common..but we are nearly 4month on now and its getting worse not better. He has no ketones his blood sugars have off days but on a whole isnt to bad. Hba1c of 58 last checked (was only 61 on diagnosis) but he eats more than me!! At first i thought he was like this because he knew he couldnt eat all day long so wanted to. But the teachers at school have mentioned by 2pm he is asking for food and getting upset about it. Iv mentioned it a few times to the nurse who said to just feed him but where do i stop? He can have a decent bowl of cereal at 7.30am and by 9am ask where dinner is and how long its going to be. It just doesnt seem right.
