diabetic child...info?
| Wed, 10-13-2004 - 2:49pm |
Hi, I'm wondering if anybody has a good link to info on juvenile/type 1 diabetes, specifically re symptoms. I have a 7 year old boy who has always enjoyed good health but has lately had some unexplained vomiting.
He is a little overweight, maybe by 5-10 lbs or so but has not gained ANY weight in about 3 years. He drinks a lot of juice. As a newborn baby he had a very serious bout of hypoglycemia, he became unconscious at 2 days old and was hospitalized for 10 days in NICU and the cause was never really determined but I think it was IUGR (intrauterine growth retardation — he had an umbilical cord defect). He has been a very healthy child since, tho.
Just a hunch, call it mother's intuition...hopefully it's nothing but if anyone has a link I'd appreciate it. We just moved and have no doctor yet, having trouble finding one who will take new patients.
Thanks!

Poor baby!
