Im looking for advice.
DD is four and my middle child. My two boys rarely get sick and if they do it dosent knock a bother out of them.
DD on the other hand is hit hard with croup and chest infections.
Anyway all three have a head cold and as usual DD is the sickest. She is spiking a temp but in ok form- very tired yesterday, but better form today.
Last night she complained of a tummy ache. This is a recurring complaint- not all the time but a couple of times a month maybe. Ive put it down to constipation which she is sometimes prone to. Last night I decided to dipstick her urine in case she had a UTI- GP gave me a bottle after she had a UTI last year.
No blood/protein but +++ glucose.
I tested twice today +++ ketones each time- no glucose.
Her appetite isnt great with the cold but she is eating bits and pieces.
There is a strong family history of type 2 diabetes- I was insulin dependent for each pregnancy.
Im quietly worried here- GP wont open till tuesday and Ill bring her in then but Id love some thoughts from people in the know.
Many thanks
