Hey!
So my DS who is 4.5 has over the weekend started urinating frequently. Every half an hour-45 mins or so, and most of the time is next to thing/a dribble. No temp, no signs of pain upon urinating. Over the weekend we had to stop on short car journeys (15 mins max) because he needs a wee. This morning since 6.15am to 14.00pm he has used the toilet 9/10 times.
A couple of months ago he was in hospital due to an infection, and was put on abx. They did his BS levels whilst in and they were at 9.2 I think they said, but said they can be slightly elevated be due to the infection, and to keep an eye for thirst and urination, weight loss etc.
Since then I haven't noticed much change in any of that becoming more frequent until this weekend. He does drink a fair amount anyway (usually water!) .. wakes in the night for huge drinks lately and goes back off. He wet the bed 2 nights on the trot about a week ago but hasn't since.
He also complains of being hungry, day and night (no signs of worms 🤮 as I did wonder this when it first started 🙈) so put it down to a potentially incoming growth spurt. He also complains now and again of tired legs!?
Bowel movement is ok, if anything he can be slightly constipated but does empty bowels every day.
I have booked him in at the GP for this afternoon due to me initially thinking it was a UTI, would I be OTT to mention concerns regarding diabetes as it was previously mentioned in hospital too? I have no experience on diabetes so don't know where to start or what symptoms would be in a young child so was jsut wondering if anyone had any similiar experiences.
Tia!
