[QUOTE="mummycat, post: 122447, member: 25219"] thank you to everyone. Can anyone suggest which if any of the following list are things I should worry about, as they're all symptoms/behaviours he's displayed in the last few months which I am now wondering about as in are they related to having diabetes. that's apart from the obvious thirst, excessive wee-ing, weight loss and blood sugar high when they did a finger prick. 1 occasional bedwetting and wetting underpants/trousers in mad dash to get to the loo (he is v embarrassed about this and has begged me not to mention it to the doctors) 2 loss of appetite on some occasions and excessive hunger on others 3 being v tired sometimes 4 going v excitable/active in the half hour after a meal 5 bad behaviour, being aggressive and also coming out with really silly random off the cuff remarks (this has got him in trouble at school for not concentrating and disrupting lessons) 6 feeling sick and/or faint for no apparant reason soon after eating especially if he's eaten v sugary food - I have stopped him eating sugary stuff like sweets/chocolate/choc biscuits etc because of this he usually has a good appetite and eats most things - likes fruit and veg and eats proper meals but like all kids also likes his sweeties Because he was so ill when he was little I do have quite a well developed instinct where he's concerned and it's twanging like fury - sorry if anyone thinks I'm being funny but I know some mums will know what I mean. We are still waiting for full test results and I am worried about what we are going to find as the initial diagnosis is a provisional one - the GP did not seem to think it was too serius but i don't know how much they know about diabetes. is it important to see a specialist earlier rather than later???
