I can't see GP fill at least tomorrow but will definitely take him.
Will start by saying I h e ds2 who is 6 weeks and I tend to suffer with extreme health anxieties after the birth of a baby. But I still can't dismiss my fears.
DS smells sweet. But I think he always has- at least it's not a recent thing. It's mainly his sweat, when he's in bed. not really any other time.
He seems to have lost weight but was v chubby before, maybe he's just slimmed down and shot up.
He has recurrent itchy penis, treated with canesten so presumably yeast. But again, this has been going on well over a year. Maybe 18months.
He does not have an increased thirst (at least not out of line with the warm weather/increased exercise) but he does have very very wet napped in the morning, the last 2 days they have leaked. He's dry during the day and urine output has not increased.
He has something wrong with one of his eyes, he just rubs it loads as it it's istht but when I ask him be days it doesn't hurt.
He says he's always tired but isn't lethargic if that makes sense. I wonder if its a reaction to new baby an everyone always saying 'oh e must be tired' etc etc. same goes for hunger - always saying he's hungry but goes without if we can distract him well enough.
He has dry skin, small patches of excema that have increased recently but DH has severe eczema so we put it down to hereditary skin problems.
So all of these things are relatively minor in themselves but when I googled the sweet sweat out of curiosity, it turns out all of these things can be diabetes symptoms. Am I just going crazy? Surely he'd be unwell? He's fine in himself, happy enough and acting normally.
Does anyone here have experience of a toddler with diabetes and what do you make of all this
