[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1924149, member: 372717"] I think thirst is often one of the earliest signs. I was diagnosed very early (I had a T1 mother) just on the basis of thirst and needing to pee in the night. I used to keep urine testing strips in the house and whenever my children (now adult and non diabetic) got extra thirsty I'd test their urine just to be on the safe side. But honestly, it could be anything or nothing. Your doctor will be able to check him out. I hope it's nothing, but if it is diabetes it's not the end of the world. Treatments these days are very much better than they were 50 years ago when I was diagnosed. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
