You or your doctor can press a glucose stick into a very wet diaper.
Any sugar would show up.
Babies are checked at birth.
You should let your doctor know your concerns in advance and he can do regular tests .
Good luck.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

It can appear any time after birth right through into adulthood. You will notice she is lethargic/tired, cranky, thirsty, and soaking her diapers. She may also look dehydrated and have dark circles under her eyes (this seems to be more common in young children with Type 1).
You can squeeze out her diaper and test the urine for glucose at home using urine glucose strips from the drugstore.
Also have regular screening blood tests every time she sees the doctor.

Diabetes can occur from the time of birth. Her doctor can run a CMP (complete metabolic panel) to check for blood glucose. Make sure it is a fasting blood test (or as close to one as you can get).
Good health to you and yours.
