Worried about diabetes

My son is 2 years old. He has had continuous viral infections for the past 6 months. Doctor said "lockdown baby" ect He has lost his appetite and is very thin. In October I took him to the GP and she tested his blood sugar. He had only had some milk a few hours prior to this. Nothing to eat. It was 8.9 said it was fine I didn't worry about it and left it. This past week he has been excessively drinking and urinating so much he fills his nappy. He is also eating ALOT. Which we were overjoyed with as he had hardly any appetite a month ago. Should I be concerned about diabetes or is he just becoming well again? TIA

Could have written this myself - the constant bugs, the blood test, the weight loss etc. I recommend buying a blood glucose monitor and checking his blood sugar an hour or so after he has had a meal. That way you can check for any high spikes yourself.
