[QUOTE="serankine, post: 283564, member: 30713"] So sorry for the late reply. My daughter was diagnosed woth type 1 november 2010 (aged 4) we pushed for her to be diagnosed she was drinking an awful lot and started wetting the bed something she has never done before, was one minute very hyper the next minute she would be pale and lying down crying. My mum had just read an article about diabetes and could see some patterns. Looking back now in photos she looks really ill but we just didnt see it. I went to our G.P and took a urine sample they kept trying to fob me off saying a urnie infection but finally after much talk and myself bascially not moving till they tested for Diabetes. They found glucose in her wee then they tested her B.G she was 19.8 we then got sent to hospital. You know your own child if you think there is something wrong make sure you get them to look into. Leah was complaining of tummy aches and needing the toilet alot and very windy since January 2011 i knew yet agin something wasnt right with her kept going to her diabetic nurses and consultant i asked about coeliac since they are often linked together they kept dismising it saying its proberly emotional and down to her diabetes december 2011 they finally sent her for bloods which came back high for coealiac and whe had the endosccopy in april. Leah was diagnosed with coeliac disease 20th May 2012 just berfore her 6th birthday. It has taken along time toget everything sorted and a lot of meetings and me standing my ground with doctors and consulatants thinking im over reacting. even when the blood tests came back high, they still told me they doubt she had coeliac disease. Leah is coping well and doesnt really mind the coeliac side of things yet!!! we havent ever ate out yet can see that being a problem. Her diabetes we do have tears and tantrums over she wants to know why but we read the books to her and talk about it i think it would help if she had a friend her own age to talk to. it is possible we make a lot of our own things. But she is a happy active 6 year old thats all that matters. Hope your grandson is ok please pm if you want to chat :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
