Hi,
I'm new here, this is my first post :wave:
I have a one-year-old daughter and I am worried she might have diabetes. She has been drinking a lot more lately, and lots of very wet nappies. She wakes at night screaming until I give her some water, which she guzzles.
I had gestational diabetes with her and was on insulin from 7 weeks. I also have a brother with type-1 diabetes.
She is my first baby, so I have no idea what is normal, could this be diabetes? We are going to the doctor today for her 12-month immunisations, so I will ask then, but wanted advice from other parents as I have noticed first-time mums can be dismissed by doctors as neurotic sometimes.
Any advice/opinions appreciated
