hello, I have been looking for some advise.
My son is 9 in november and has always been a handful. But reading about diabetes is starting to add up.
My father has t2 and so has his brother and his mother, I my maternal side has it as well, and so does my husbands side of the family, so we have a strong genetic link. I have watched my son get worse (behaviour wise) at school and at home, mornings are bad about 30minutes after eating, usually toast and butter he has a mad moment like a hit of drugs and is uncontrollable. And he has the same at school, usually geting told off after lunch.
Putting two and two together and getting 5 we have looked at his reads on my dads blood monitor.
last night 7.6
first thing today 5.8 (then having toast butter)
Did 45 minutes later 5.4
as we were about to leave he had a mad moment so did another read 4.8
Looking back three years ago he had a floppy fit after lunch and took 4 hours to come back, he gets headaches and shuts down (he will lie down and sometimes he is difficult to rouse). He has had a smell on his breath, and he drinks water (he never used to drink water). He seems to have ups and downs, after school he is starving and is a bag of bones really skinny and never puts on weight, and he is itchy at times, with very dry skin.. He has cream for exema.
Am I jumping to the wrong conclusions? or could he have the start of diabetes?.
