I noticed that DD (13) has developed sweet smelling urine. She's not actually overweight (though she's not slim) but she does have a terrible sweet tooth, and access to pocket money which is all spent on sweet binging. I'm vaguely worried about diabetes, but I don't know anything about it, or whether there's anything else I should be thinking about. I've got a doctor's appointment for a weeks time, and I've also got some urine glucose testing strips from the chemist but I don't know what time of day to do use them to get a realistic result.
Does anyone have any good suggestions? I really don't have a clue whether I should be panicking.
