My wife and I noticed together, that our son was drinking a lot of water (what seemed like a gallon a day), his diapers would be filled, drenching wet and leaking, within an hour of changing him, and seemed to always be tired. We had already guessed he had diabetes prior to the Pediatrician diagnosing him. We were upset that the Pediatrician didn’t figure it out sooner. I agree with previous comments that “BG checks” should be standard practice for checkups…they’re easy, fast and a great way to figure out whether someone has some sugar related disease…before DKA and before serious side-effects can set in.
