I am a concerned mother. The only symptom she does not have is weight loss. There is a family of type 2 diabetes on both sides. The thing is, the symptoms are sometimes more predominate for a few weeks at a time then kind of mellow out for a while. I know adults symptoms can be mild, but I was told children symptoms are really predominant.
Symptoms of diabetes are very variable.
If you are worried about whether your child has diabetes, a simple urine test is all that you need to do to find out. I would suggest that you go and see your daughter's doctor, explain the symptoms, and say you are worried that it may be due to diabetes. Comments and Feedback . Privacy statement .
