Gp rang yesterday with the results of some blood tests that my DS had last week as he had been having some 'funny turns' feeling hot/ cold and weak and lethargic.
The GP said that the results show that he hs Type 2 diabetes! I thought this was only seen in adults and everything I have read says that it is linked with obesity and I feel terribly sorry for him as he is not obese and within a normal weight range for his age and height.
DS is away on a school field trip until friday so he doesn't know yet, although I have spoken to the teachers with him so that they are aware. Thats all I know at the moment.
Does anyone have experience of this that can offer any advice on what happens next as it's another week until we see the specialist and I'm doing a fantastic job at being a neuratic mother!
