What Could Cause Frequent Urination, Lack Of Appetite, Increased Thirst, Dark Circles With Fatigue In A Child?

Over the past three and a half weeks ive noticed differences in my 14month old daughter. Not until now have her symptoms been consistent. Lack of appetite till bed time, always thirsty, frequent urination that leaks threw diapers constantly, dark circles around eyes or puffy , more tired than normal, exhausted throughout the day, rubbing sinuses and banging her head. Diabetes does run on both sides of family but there has been no weight loss

Hi, since your family has diabetes on either side of the parent family, rule out in your child. Get a Random blood sugar and a urine specific gravity, urine routine microscopy for glycosuria. Get an LFT done for your child. Consult a pediatrician as she might require extensive work up. And keep a watch on her hydration status as she might get dehydrated. Give her ORS solutions daily to keep good electrolyte levels in her body.
Thanks and regards.
