Please help calm me down until I can get a GP appointment this afternoon.

DS 12 has started drinking a lot more water, saying he feels thirsty. Started about 3 weeks ago while abroad. Obviously it’s hot but this is more than that.

He’s also lost a lost a lot of weight on his stomach. That may be him shooting up in height but he wasn’t over weight before.

Also saying he feels more tired but that could be due to being up until early hours of the morning 😡and sleeping rhythm messed up.

Noticed last night his breath has a chemical smell like acetone.

No Type 1 diabetes in families. MIL was diagnosed in her late 60’s with Type 2.

GP had no appointments by the time I got through this morning so have to try again at 2pm. Aarghhh!

Hi all - we're getting a few reports about our moderation here and so we'd like to clear a few things up. We moderate to our Talk guidelines rather than whether we agree or disagree with something. We have to assume that posters are not qualified to give medical advice because we can't vouch for anyone. This is why we always advise people to see a professional in real life before making any decisions.

OP - we're really sorry to hear of your son's diagnosis but we're glad to hear he's receiving medical attention. We're sure you'll receive a lot of support from parents here with similar experiences.

Wishing you and your family the very best from all of us at MNHQ.
