Now, I'm pretty sure I'm being dramatic. But my son has been quite ill recently and in hospital for most of January with recurrent (different) infections.
For the last 3/4 days he has suddenly started drinking and weeing a lot more than usual. He's eating a lot also and getting a bit moody on and off with no apparent cause.
Anyway- I've dipped his urine as I have sticks at home and all appeared fine. My question is - could he still have diabetes even though his urine showed no ketones or glucose?
FWIW, he is having follow up immune tests by the infectious disease team in a few weeks following his stay in hospital.
Please help me relax. I want to take him the gp to do a finger prick test but will they even do that?
I had to push for my son to be blood tested for his first infection as was fobbed of with it being viral- he was admitted immediately and was quite seriously ill. So on one hand I realise I'm now that parent. But on the other I'm terrified something's been missed and I'm not doing anything.
