My ten year old son has constant dry mouth, always thirsty, always urinating and very thin. The three signs are so bad that they really effect his daily life. I took him to the doctor last year and we did a blood test for diabetes whicChatDoctore back negative. A year later, the signs are still here, but worse. Could he have diabetes but the onset was just slow? Could he possibly have diabetes and it just did not show up last year?
Hi, yes these are signs of diabetes. If I was treating you then I would have liked to do urine ketones, glucose tolerance test, blood glucose. These investigations will clear your doubts and help in making diagnosis. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
