My son is a little over 3, he his asking for drinks more during the day and has started wetting at night. I am not sure if its just a kid growing and needing more liquid or something more. I do still try to limit his drinks at night.
My 16 yr old half brother was diagnosed a couple of years back and I am not sure if the diabetes is on my Dad’s side or my step-mothers side.

What Would Be Some Symptoms Of Type 1 Diabetes?
By 8 Comments
Diabetes Type 1
Also called: Insulin-dependent diabetes, Juvenile diabetes
Diabetes means your blood glucose, or blood sugar, is too high. With Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood.
Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth.
Type 1 diabetes happens most often in children and young adults but can appear at any age. Symptoms may include
Being very thirsty
Urinating often
Feeling very hungry or tired
Losing weight without trying
Having sores that heal slowly
Having dry, itchy skin
Losing the feeling in your feet or having tingling in your feet
Having blurry eyesight
A blood test can show if you have Type 1 diabetes. If you do, you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life.

Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes.
Some diabetes symptoms include:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision
If you have one or more of these diabetes symptoms, see your doctor right away.

Sometimes at 3 children push to see how much they can demand from parents. Sometimes they are legitimately thirsty, and too they sometimes go through sprees of bed wetting after they have been trained not to.
Talk to your pediatrician the next trip and see what the doctor says.
it usually comes from the fathers side semitones are thirsty all the time going to the bathroom allot being cold and losing weight but he could be just thirsty and the thirst is making him wet my mom got diabetes type 2 when i was eight but the semtonese are the same
Having semi-sweet breath, Cold, and bad circulation in the feet.
Constant thirst….frequent urination. I can’t remember what my symptoms were. I believe being tired quite a lot.
My husband is also Type 1 and very concerned that our daughter (7) may become diabetic. His mother was and his sister is. I can tell you that we have her checked through the peditrician periodically. His brother was my husband’s primary for years. He has always said that the main signs are excessive thirst and constant peeing are two major signs for children. Like there isn’t enough liquid in the house thirst and my bladder is is the size of a 10 gallon drum pee. If you are in doubt, call the doctor our use your own monitor to prick his finger.
