i am a vlounteer and the mom of a type one diabetic.  i have listed  below the warning signs andd symptoms of diabetes. if your child has any otf these symptoms i wouod contact your doctor immediately to have him checked out.



Knowing the warning signs for type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) could save a child's life.

Warning signs of type 1 diabetes (these may occur suddenly):
Extreme thirst
Frequent urination
Sudden vision changes
Sugar in urine
Fruity, sweet, or wine-like odor on breath
Increased appetite
Sudden weight loss
Drowsiness, lethargy
Heavy, labored breathing
Stupor, unconsciousness

If your child exhibits one or more of these symptoms, call a doctor immediately

i hope this helps.
