: I have a two year old daughter who is always thirsty. I get notes from daycare saying the same. She even wakes at night to ask for something to drink. My mother and sister are both diabetics although theirs was adult onset. I have taken a fasting sugar with mothers machine in morning one was 147 other was 98. I questioned doctor. They did sugar blood test at office he said it was fine. Is it possible for her to be a diabetic even though doctor said test was fine? My daughter also wears glasses due to severe farsightedness. Can anyone put my mind at ease? Concerned Mom
I suppose anything is possible. She should have an A1c test done if it comes out under 6
she`s probably ok. Fasting should be around 70-115 but morning syndrome may have kicked
up your first test.
