Hi,
My 2 1/2 year old son has been showing worrying symptoms and I am looking for some advice please.
His symptoms
- frequent urination (25+ times daily)
- constant drinking (2-3 litres)
- tiredness (can have a 4hr nap, then go to bed from 8 til 8)
- quite alot of behavious issues
- glazed/vacant look regularly through the day
His dad is type 1 and to be honest we have always wondered about him for the last 6-8m. It wasnt until recently I had him to a doc with what I though was a urine infection for it to be clear, and the dc to mention he wanted to do a glucose test. He was clear at the time but he wanted a morning sample again in 2wks (which would be about now actually). Getting more concerned about him, my husband checked his sugar level and it was at 17.9, which was about 5hrs after a meal, just before his supper. Although he did have 3 starburst sweets about 2hrs before.
Should I be concerned or am I just overreacting as there is rather alot of family history of type 1 including his dad.
Thankyou
