My brother has diabetes, but I've been cleared. So, I remember when he was a kid, he was always thirsty - a bottle of water at a time, and immediately asked to go to the toilet. His parents chalked it up to the summer heat. Then they noticed that he became cranky, sleepy, even at night sometimes urinated, although it had not happened for a long time before. His parents took him to the pediatrician, and he immediately gave a referral for a sugar test. The results were: type 1 diabetes . These first symptoms - thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, lethargy - cannot be ignored. In children, it can develop rapidly.
