Hello all,

I have been searching the internet for the last hour trying to find a message board on children with Diabetes. Im not sure if this is the board or not :( I just have some questions on what I should do. Feel free to answer my questions if you have answers...or send me to a more appropriat board :) TIA.

My name is Julie and I have three children, 12, 11 and 3&1/2. My daughter the youngest came to us from Guatemala so I do not have any medical history on her. She has been acting so strange suddenly over the last month and I am searching for answers....and started thinking of causes. She is extrememly bright and energetic, so that may be what I am dealing with (LOL) Here are the things I am worried about.

- she recently has been acting out at pre-school at the end of the day (on a few different occasions she has hit different children for no reason. just reaches over and hits them. Most of the time she is the sweetest most helpful child in the room.

- at different times of the day she can go from being sooooo sweet to being just so emotionally distraght. she has been having lots of fits, usually later in the day

- she has been potty trained since she was 18 months old, but still goes pee about ever twenty min.s she tinkles a little in her panties several times a day.

- she still SOAKS a pull up every night

- she LOVES orange juice and asks for it all day. I give it to her with half water and about three sippy cups a day. She is always thirsty and asks for drinks all day. She is very little and doesn't eat big (although, I did have two big boys first)

-she goes from being very alert to staring off into space a times and she kind of looks tired to me all the time....but she doesn't nap at all. She does sleep well at night 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. all the way through the night.

I guess thats all I can think of now.....sorry this is so long :) Thanks you for any help or suggestions that you can give.

Peace,

Julie
