[VinniesMommy]

Lately Vinnie has been drinking A LOT, I am talking about 5-10 cups of juice a day! I didn't think anything of it until last week when my MIL said that it was a lot for a kid his size. Then I started to notice that he is peeing through his diaper almost every 2-3 hours! I mean, drinking that much, he should be peeing a lot, but last night, on 2 cups of juice, he peed through his diaper twice! I called the doctor this morning, and told her what was going on, and she said that it could be a sign of diabetes!!!! I had no idea!! It runs in my moms side of the family, but it is all Type 2, so I guess I never put the pieces together. He has an appointment at 11 on Monday and they are going to do the screening for him... I am so worried! I feel so horrible that I didn't notice how much he was drinking! I looked at a list of symptoms, and he has 5 out of 10 of them ((a few of them being things a 2 yo couldn't tell me any way)) frequent peeing, increased thirst, increased hunger, unexplained weight loss ((this I am unsure of, but he is 2 years old and only weighs 25lbs)) and frequent peeing at night. I am going to be on pins and needles until then... Is there something else that it could be? Maybe ease my mind a little?
