This is a common question from parents. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can occur at any age, but children are most likely to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Noticing early symptoms can make a big difference.
Common signs may include:
- More frequent urination (especially at night, which may cause a child who is potty trained to start bedwetting again).
- Being very thirsty
- Feeling more tired than usual
- Weight loss
- Increased appetite
- Abdominal pain & vomiting
If you ever notice changes that concern you or feel "off," talk to your pediatrician. We're here to listen, check, and guide you!
