Hi,
I have been very worried about my daughter over the past few weeks,
She has always had problems from day one, but recently they have become worse.
When she was born she was taken into hospital because she was ill.
at first they thought it was meningitis but ruled that out then they thought it could be Cystic Fibrosis she has had sweat tests done and one result came back borderline (the doctor is confident it's not and it was a low borderline result)
She has had lots of trips to A&E for not breathing properly (faster or slower than normal) the last time this happened was October last year.
Her weight is steady at the moment and the health visitors are happy with her weight.
Recently she has had a lot of symptoms they made me think this could be diabetes?
drinking alot (Saturday night she drank nearly 3 pints of water) it's not normally this much but not far off, weeing alot, sleeping alot (sometimes 4/5 hours a day even if she had a normal nights sleep) pins and needles in her feet (could be cramp not sure as she's too young to explain properly) she also sweats alot in the night.
because I was worried about this I took her to my GP who done a blood sugar test and it came back at 3.4 he told me it was quite low but she hasn't got diabetes?
I spoke to a friend of mine who’s daughter has diabetes and she borrowed me a meter and I have been testing her at home my self.
I do get normal levels but I also get high levels too, normally about an hour 2 two hours after eating it can range from anything 7.7 and had been as high as 20.5 although this is not always the case sometimes after eating her levels can be normal.
I spoke to my doctor about this and he said that I must be doing the test wrong? (I have been making sure her hands are clean ect before testing) he also said that she has behavioural problems that’s why she is drinking alot and there for that’s why she’s weeing alot (I have never herd anything like this before/ I know I would say this about my own daughter but she is the most kindest loving child I have even known? I have 4 children and they are not all angles. But I do not for one second believes this is because she is naughty?) Also I forgot to mention she has always had diarrhoea I know this is not one of the symptoms but thought I should mention it. If this is not diabetes then what could this be? I am so frustrated right now and need to put an end to all of this he is refusing to do tests on my daughter and I am not sure what to do next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Kindest regard
