Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has a child with diabetes or know much about it. My 2yr old has suddenly started drinking way too much liquid (like last night a whole pump bottle (600mls) of apple juice after she had a bottle of milk (300mls) and a cup of water. This is all in an hour. She always asks for a drink and sculls the lot quickly. Also I have just noticed she is wee-ing so much. Its clear colour and she did 3 very large wee's in about 15-20mins. This was before all her drink. I tested her blood sugar level this morning at work. It was 6.9mmols at 9am. All she had was a piece of toast and water since waking up at 7am and the toast only had butter on it. It was tested about 1.5hrs after her food. I meant to test her pee too at work for Glucose but was so busy I didn't get the stick so will have to wait for tomorrow. She is very well otherwise. I was just wondering what other digns I should be looking for. I can't take her to the dr until Monday as I live in a small country town where there are no dr's on the weekend and she is well. Does drinking and peeing too much warrant a trip to the dr if her BSL is fine?
