Thanks Patch, we do know that Melatonin is a natural hormone that regulates the human biological clock. Unfortunately we do not know exactly what we are talking about here as there is nothing relating to Diabetic Melatonin as a diagnosis...... :? (confused not a frown)
Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Where is this letter from? and who sent it?
Has your son just had a blood test?
Is it possible that a medical secretary has typed diabetic melatonine 12 instead of diabetes mellitus T2 bearing in mind the state of most doctors hand writing
Also interesting to me as I have always had problems with sleep not getting enough, getting too much, unable to get to sleep unless completly and utterly exhausted. At one point I had a weird cycle of being awake for nearly 48 hrs then sleeping 12 sometimes slip back into it too.
My son recently had a glucose test as he was first told that he was T2, then the Doctor said he wasn't sure he was Diabetic, the letter came from the Blood Clinic and just said Diabetic Melatonine of 12 which we don't understand.

If you are not sure about (a) the diagnosis, (b) the result quoted in the letter, you need to get back and see the GP and get this cleared up. Your Son needs to know exactly what he has been diagnosed with, if anything. Diabetes or pre-Diabetes. or nothing ? That way we can advise you/him better. It may be that the Melatonin issue is some sort of grading ? I would have to do more research into it.
My advice is to see your GP and discuss ALL the issues.
