Is my daughter diabetic?

[pinkandgreenelephants]

Don’t want to prematurely speak to 111 or GP if no need.

DD15 has a far smaller appetite than usual, is frequently either constipated or has diarrhoea, vomits if she eats a lot of food - have read that this is a symptom of gasteoparesis which can come with diabetes Type 2

Am concerned as she has a very poor diet and will eat family sized bags of sweets/chocolate regularly without my knowledge. She eats fruit about once a week and veg when I serve it to her. We both know that this is a big problem and I do encourage her to improve her diet

She is less active than she used to be, plays hockey once a week but that’s it exercise-wise. She has a healthy BMI - far from overweight.

Must also add that she isn’t unusually tired or thirsty and doesn’t visit the toilet frequently. I know I may be catastrophising but please give me advice as I know her symptoms can’t be because of nothing and am terribly worried. Please advise

You need to take her to the doctor. Nobody here can tell you what's wrong

I wouldn't leap to diabetes with that description, sounds potentially more like an eating disorder to me.

Dr. Google strikes again.
Gastroparesis as a complication of diabetes is a complication that comes from having diabetes for a long time.
Her symptoms sound nothing like diabetes but you need to get her to see a doctor.

Sounds more like impaction from constipation, with the diarrhoea being overflow. She needs to see a GP then sort out her diet with more fibre.

As PP says, symptoms doesn’t sound like type 1 diabetes and if she’s not overweight, it’s unlikely she has type 2.

Doesn’t sound like it but why wouldn’t you take her to the doctor if there’s a problem it will be far more beneficial than asking on here

Highly unlikely a 15 year old has type 2 diabetes, especially with a healthy BMI. Agree with PP that you need to make an appointment with your GP.

Nothing here rings diabetes alarm bells so I'm really unsure how you've reached that potential conclusion. As PP says it may be an impaction or I would also consider coeliacs disease for her.

Sounds like disordered eating and possibly an intolerance or eating disorder.
