could it be type I Diabetes

could it be type I Diabetes

My son will be 12 at the end of Oct. In recent weeks he's been complaining of being really thirsty and he's a lot of headaches.  About two weeks ago he mentioned he had a fruity taste in his mouth. A red flag went up and I immediately thought type I Diabetes.  Today I started taking his blood sugar and it was 95 fasting.  Am I doing the right thing? Should I be worried.

That is not a bad fasting blood sugar number; average fasting is usually between 70-110.  It could be a number of things that could be going on.  I think an appointment with his pediatrician is warranted.  At the age of 12, one has alot going on as far as hormones, etc.  

Good luck
