The symptoms that lead to a
diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children include the following:
-
Weight loss with either increased
appetite or loss of appetite (more common in the younger child)
-
Increased
thirst.
-
Increased urination: a toilet-trained
child may start wetting, or a baby in diapers will need more frequent changes.
-
Dehydration.
-
Severe diaper rash that does not
respond to the usual treatment.
-
Vomiting that is persistent,
particularly if it is accompanied by weakness or drowsiness.
