Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Urinating Frequently. Mother Is Diabetic. Related?
My granddaughter is urinating frequently. She goes through about 20 diapers a day and is soaked in the morning after sleeping 12 hours through the night. Is this normal? Her mom's brother is a Type 1 diabetic. Could that be possible? She hasn't lost any weight and although she can be very irritable, she hasn't shown any signs of being weak or lethargic.
Hello: Twenty diapers a day does certainly seems like a lot. Although some children have a small bladder capacity and urinate many times, but a small amount. With that family history, however, I think it is appropriate to take her to her pediatrician for some blood work and urine analysis. It's the only way to be sure.
