Since he was not spilling glucose in his urine, he does not have diabetes. My sister thinks I am interfering, but I am an RN, and I am too worried to let it drop with a simple urine test. I thought that in order to spill glucose in the urine you had to reach a threshold level that can be higher people with diabetes. This type of problem is common. I would agree with the paediatrician.
Stress can cause the blood sugar to rise.
This wouldn't normally be associated with symptoms of thirst and frequent urination, but toddlers often drink a lot of juice. I would suggest that, once your nephew is over his cold, and if his symptoms persist , you encourage your sister to take him back to the pediatrician for a fasting blood glucose followed by a large breakfast and a repeat blood glucose two hours postprandially .
