Today it was brought to my attention that my two and half year old drinks a ton and guzzles down every glass, when I say a ton I mean 10 large sippey cups during the day and one or two at night. He poops constantly, usually dirraeha constantsy, and is always fussy for no reason. He also urnates a ton peeing through diapers is not an unusual thing in this house, and he also has unexplanable blistery diaper rashes which have gotten better by age. He wears cloth diapers, and since he urinates so much I change him almost every hour, so in my oppinon he shouldnt be getting rashes like this. The doctors at one time told me the rashes were caused by milk allergies but he doesnt drink milk at all now and still gets the rashes. Please help Im very conserned!

Have him tested for diabetes as soon as possible. I have type 1 diabetes and high blood sugars mean bad attitudes, extremely thirsty, and urinating all the time!

I saw something on tv about this the other day. Take your son to the doctor and have kidney tests run on him. They'll just take some blood and look for proteins and stuff like that. His kidneys might not be using the water correctly...don't freak out...just go get it checked out. He might just be thirsty. My 2 year old daughter used to drink atleast 10 sippy cups a day and pee through her diapers almost EVERY nap time and bed time...you have to just not give him so much to drink. Some of it is probably just wanting to have something in his mouth. Take him to the doc before you take the liquids away b/c it could cause serious problems...

I agree with the answer above. Please have him tested for diabetes. These are all early signs.
