Afternoon everyone
I am a little worried about my DD who will be 13 next month
Yesterday she wet herself as she all of a sudden needed to pee and just couldnt make it to the toilet - this is the first time this has happened but she says she just feels off at the moment plus over the last couple of weeks she has had moments of blurry vision actually causing her to slip over last week at school but she didnt tell me that was the reason she fell until this morning - she says she is thirsty more and she is eating more than she has done previously but looks thinner - I am going to weigh her when she is home from school to see if she has lost weight
also she has blisters on the back of her heels ( from some new shoes) and they are taking ages to heal fully been 2 weeks now - she does seem tired at the moment but she is a competitive dancer and so does train for around 14 hours a week so its difficult to gauge whether the tiredness is from that
she is not drinking or peeing excessively by normal standards but bit more than usual for her - she always was a nightmare for not drinking enough and she never normally has to go to the toilet a lot but definitely going more at the moment
looking up these symptoms they are all on the list for potential diabetes but it always sounds like the child is so tired they cant do anything and that the thirst is excessive and that ther are peeing constantly so I do wonder as she is still doing her dance training and competing could she really have diabetes - could it be something else??
Any thoughts or ideas welcome - thank you in advance
