My daughter seems to drink and urinate a lot, two of the symptoms that are for Type 2 diabetes. I don't know if it is just because it's summer or whether it's something to be concerned about. She doesn't seem to have other symptoms, and if it continues I'm going to call her pediatrician...but I was just wondering if anyone else had a child that drank so much? She usually drinks an 8 oz sippy cup of juice/water or milk in the morning and can slam two down within a half hour when she gets home from daycare. They give her water and milk at daycare, but I'm not exactly sure how much she's drinking there...they haven't mentioned that it seems excessive, but...mommies tend to worry. Thanks for any thoughts or personal experiences with something like this!

all of these are very good answers. My 5 year old is the same way, so I had her tested. She was fine and had no problems. I guess she just likes to stay hydrated! I say just have your child tested to be on the safe side, its quick and easy..

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

2 1/2 year old drinks a lot - can it be diabetes?

I think you are right in being concerned. What does your pediatrician say? Is she losing weight? Usually children have Type I diabetes, if that is what she truly has.
She may be drinking because it is an easier way to take in calories and keep on going. Perhaps she doesn't want to take the time to eat. But, by all means, check it out with the doctor. I wish you luck.

If your worried have a test taken it will help you rest better
But on a lighter side our 3 year old drinks a lot and we have discovered that he does it because he acting like us.
If he sees any of the four us drink he needs a drink to and like us drinks a full given amount. He also likes to drink our drinks to feel like a big boy.
Lucky we drink lots of water and milk so we let him have a drink with us . When I say he drinks allot I I mean a full cup of water or juice or milk each time....So it can be she is wanting to be a big girl just like you, think about it you may be teaching her a great lesson and not even know it.
Have a great time and remember mommies worry because they have love to give I rather hear you are concerned than not aware of what is going on.

My son will be 4 on Monday and he has always been that way. Very thirsty all the time. He can finish a drink in seconds and turn around and ask for more. My dad is the same way and has been his entire life. Both have been tested for diabetes because it runs in my family but they both came out negative.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
