Hello So sorry to hear of your worries. As you are so worried and concerned and she is showing symptoms like her brother with Type 1 :( ( 3.6) is a big worry , could you make an appointment ASAP with your GP or if you have a walk in Clinic at your hospital then you could go there. With children its best to get medical attention quickly. Please let us know how she is and I hope its good news, bless her. Take care RRB
 
Hi, I agree with RRB - take her to your GP or local clinic. Don't let them fob you off as a paranoid mother, you know your child and you know from experience what the symptoms are. There was an article in yesterdays Daily Mail about how mothers are being ignored by so called professionals who won't do the proper checks. Insist on proper tests. Good luck and hope you can get this cleared up.
 
I think you need to pop her along to the doctors...

By what you'll saying it sounds that a urine infections is more the probably cause, this can give very similar symptoms as the body tries to flush out the infection... But you do need to get her checked out and if you can get her on her potty to provide a urine sample before you go, the mores the better, as they can dip stick test this, rather than a finger stick test, with this the urine sample they be able to quickly decide if there's glucose in her urine indicating diabetes as a possible cause, or whether it's a urine infection causing problems...

But has I said, you do need to speak to a doctor to find out what's going on..
