Hey girls, sorry for not popping in sooner,

We took DD to the Dr's and yes it is quite a bit of water, but at the moment we can't do a lot as she still has an infection, we took her to the Dr's last Saturday to ask and she had an upper respiratory infection, so had to wait then took her today as she wasn't improving, last night she threw up in her sleep and rolled through it was not so much fun to clean up at 1am. Dr checked her today and her ears has gotten a lot worse, and she has given us a prescription if she develops a fever. Good thing for her it is staying out of her lungs

But back to the subject at hand

Once she is over the infection, we take her for a Finger ***** Test, to see what her levels are, and a urinary concentration test where we collect the urine over a period of 24 hours (we had to do this while she was in hospital dehydrated and one bag a day was tricky, let alone over a 24 hours period.

In the meantime we offer her less water, so only partially fill her water bottles and see if she complains for more. But while she has been sick her intake has been a lower so we will see what happens when she is better.

Thanks for asking Skybie

Ya my advise would be Blood Glucose Test to confirm, My cousin had type 1 and found out at the age of 3 as he was drinking so much fluid.

Good luck!
