I am 28 and was wondering how do you explain to a doctor that you may need to be checked to see if you have some sort of a sugar problem. My 7 year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 3 months ago. He has lost weight since his diagnosis, but was very overweight to begin with. He always had bowel movements that sank right to the bottom of the toilet, despite my giving him lots of fruits and vegetables to increase his fiber intake. I have a 2.5 year old Downs Syndrome child that has been diagnosed with diabetes.
Child is hyper when blood sugar is high, opposite symptoms than adult.
Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes one year ago. This is the first time I've ever heard about that correlation. I understand that they have changed the blood sugar level so that more people will be diagnosed with diabetes. My 6 year old son was diagnosed about 2 months ago with Type 1 diabetes.
