What could be symptoms of diabetes in a five year old?

[olivo]

Dr has mentioned ruling out diabetes in dd aged 5. She drinks a lot, wees a lot and doesn't sleep well. Her night nappies have started getting heavier despite no drinks after 6 etc. are there other symptoms I should be looking out for?

And how do you test for it? GTT?

They'll do a urine test and if it's positive for glucose then that's a marker..also they'll do a blood test

When i got diagnosed as a kid i was weeing a lot and drinking a lot and was extremely tired so if anything sleeping too well!

thanks PAddy, that helps to know. I suspect she actually has an over active or sensitive bladder but I would prefer to (hopefully) rule anything else out.
