How can you tell if your child has diabetes?

Answer 1

Syptoms of diabetes include:

Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision

(from www.diabetes.org, website of the American Diabetes Association)

If you have one or more of these symptoms, or are concerned that you might have diabetes, you should see your doctor, who can perform bloodwork to determine if you do. Take your hild to the doctor if you are at all concerned about this or have any suspicions at all. The doctor can perform a Glucose Tolerance TEst and a blood glucose test and/or Hemoglobin A1c, to determine if he/she has diabetes, and what treatment should be started. Good Luck!

Answer 5

My mother got suspicious when I would take large cups (32 oz) of water to bed with me (when I was only 7). I would then sleepwalk at night trying to find the bathroom. Your child may also be lethargic and irritable.

Those are the main symptoms -but not the only ones.
If you truly suspect diabetes - take your child to the doctor immediately. Even if it isn't diabetes, it could be something else that causes other major problems - such as your child becoming dehydrated.

Answer 6

If you notice that your child is drinking large amounts of liquids and urinating more than usual and extremely thirsty and tired you should make sure he/she is tested for diabetes. Good luck.
