Hi,
I have a 5 year old little boy, and I am really concerned that something may be wrong as he is getting frequent UTI'S and has also had balenitis. He has just finished a week of antibiotics for a urine infection, he is also complaining of tummy pains and is constantly hungry even after a meal he will be looking for more to eat. His urine sample when dipped at the doctors last week didn't show traces of glucose, but I'm just wondering if this would always necessarily show up in the urine if my son did have diabetes or would a finger prick test be the most accurate way to determine? Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
