What is it she drinks , very yellow is dark it should be a paler yellow, I would give her more liquids  and in my opinion water is okay .Best is to ask for the fasting  glucose test they will know which to do ,

She could be hypoglycemic ,her sugar may go up and down , they will be able to tell you when you have it tested ,is the color of the urine a darker color,and  is she drinking enough liquids.

If she does take a nap it only a hr 2 .. I have notice the sweet smell more recently ... But urine has a strong smell .. And she has not had any thing sweet to eat. But. I been Givin her sum gatorade so her sugar would not drop ... They are tested have her twice to check glucose the first time when she was sick it was down to 50 and I have not received the results of this test .. But on ethier test she didn't fast

Have you noticed that recently or has it always been like that  has she been eating or drinking sweet food.there have been virus going round and she may have a mild bladder infection, it would seem like a good idea to have her checked out .for appetite, at this age they enjoy finger foods and eat themselves she may eat more that way .Does she sleep during the day , many children of this age do not sleep well at nights if they are napping for long during the day, what is her nightime routine ?
