As we posted here on ForEveryMom last year, here are the type1 diabetes symptoms you should never ignore in your child, as if it is undiagnosed for too long, your child could lose his or her life.
Type 1 Diabetes symptoms to look for – the 4 T’s
- Toilet – going to the toilet a lot, bed wetting by a previously dry child or heavier diapers in babies
- Thirsty – being really thirsty and not being able to quench the thirst
- Tired – feeling more tired than usual
- Thinner – losing weight
April Davis had enough AWARENESS to know that even in the hot, dry desert, her daughter’s type 1 diabetes symptoms should not go unchecked. And the fact that she went into the ER armed with blood glucose info, having tested it herself, went a LONG WAY to having her daughter’s case escalated.
So, mamas? Now YOU know too. Be AWARE, and share this with your mama friends so that no child’s type 1 diabetes goes undiagnosed!
