Hi, my 4 year old has been having major tummy aches for a week now. He has also had majorly increased appetite to the point where he will eat breakfast, have another breakfast and then say he's hungry half an hour later. Also he's waking in the night saying he's hungry and also after dinner etc, despite having eaten well all day. He has been having the tummy aches for a week on and off throughout the day and night and says he's hungry and feels sick and yet last night I researched it and thought maybe it may be a hypo or hyper?! My sister has just been diagnosed aged 34 type 1 diabetes and I thought maybe he had some of the symptoms. He gets stressed easily and tired easily recently and with the tummy aches and extreme hunger I went to the hospital a&e. They examined his stomach and ears , but said they didn't do blood tests for kids and also he would be more ill than this. Can anyone help with some advice please?
