[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1826676, member: 372717"] I agree with others who say you should concentrate on the eczema. If your son actually has diabetes (almost certainly T1) then his symptoms will worsen to the point where you can easily get a diagnosis (and you'll still be getting warning early enough to avoid any diabetic damage.) I can only imagine how hard it is for you while waiting for a diagnosis, and if I was in your position I'd be desperate for one to cover my son's symptoms, but it doesn't help to rush into a treatment plan and strategy for something he hasn't actually been diagnosed with. Most of the folk on here are T2 adults and carbohydrate intolerant: they advise low carb because it appears to be the best treatment for their condition. It's incredibly unlikely that your child will be T2, and T1 diabetics lack insulin rather than being carbohydrate intolerant, so the treatment is different. Have you been referred to an endocrinologist for the puberty issue? (The good news is, they deal with diabetic issues as well, so they'll have a much better understanding of your son's possibly slightly elevated blood sugar results). Good luck, lots of virtual hugs.
