Am I Just Being Paranoid?

Hi . I've also come in late here. Not been on the forum for a while. Did you take DS to the docs? Totally understandable to be concerned. I hope things are OK.
 
He had one test last week which came back a bit high, but that could be due to the Calpol he'd had for his ear infection. He's going to have a repeat test tomorrow morning, now that he's finished his antibiotics.

He's not wetting his bed now, but he's still getting out of bed multiple times a night for the loo. 4 times last night!
 
I phoned the doctor's for the results of J's urine test. They said it had a "routine speak to doctor" note on it, so I've now got the earliest phone appointment they could give me - 10:00 on Friday. 🙄

He had his bloods done again this morning (after a lot of fuss because the doctor ticked the wrong box on the form ...) so we should get the results of that soon too.

He's still getting up to pee at least 4 times a night, peeing rather a lot during the day now too, and drinking more than I'd consider normal. I just wish the test results would come back quicker and I could speak to the doctor sooner. I don't want a repeat of what happened to F, and if it IS diabetes, that could happen within hours. :(

You must be so worried esp with the speak to the doctor note. i hope everthing comes back ok and the boy is ok. Will be thinking of you. keep us updated.

Gem xx
 
Hi Kei,

Please let us know what happens with your little boy. If it is diabetes, then at least you will have some answers to all this. I realise it doesnt make it any better though - it would still be a shock as much as it was the first time. Lets hope its to do with the ear infection etc.🙂Bev x

Thinking of you too. Have a friend with 2 diabetic daughters. How many children do you have? (sorry if I should know this). Be strong. There is always loads of support on this forum.

Three. F is the eldest, then J (age 5), and H (age 1.5).
 
Thinking of you hon. Fingers tightly crossed and holding my breath for you. I really, really hope everything is ok xx
 
The results are in!

Urine test = no infection.

Fasting blood glucose = 5.

Doctor is confident J doesn't have diabetes. :D

Just got to sort out this peeing and drinking problem now. I've been given a website about bedwetting to look at, so I'm off there now. 🙂
 
Oh thank goodness. I know it wouldn't have been the end of the world...but it would have meant so much more stuff to deal with, so soon after everything else...

Thanks for letting us know! I'm so relieved for you. Good luck with getting other things sorted.

Take care.
 
I am so pleased for you all - like Patricia says it wouldnt have been the end of the world - but it would have added to your daily tasks.🙂Bev
