Hello @George77 and welcome to the forum. I am sure you must be very worried after your initial visit to the GP and there are other parents here who will relate to your concerns.
Has she been displaying any other symptoms at all? Diabetes is tricky as many of the symptoms could easily be attributed to something else and someone may not show all of the symptoms.

If you are getting worried that she has more of the symptoms listed in the 4Ts, or these are getting worse, you should seek more immediate medical attention. The symptoms are increased thirst, going to the toilet, weight-loss and tiredness. If she displays these, you can call NHS 111 or go to A&E. I understand that in the meantime, this is very concerning for you all and the appointment is far off (possibly a positive sign?) Can you keep calling to try to find a more urgent appointment?
