How is diabetes diagnosed in children?
Diabetes diagnosis involves a careful history, examination, and labs. Symptoms of new diabetes can include increase in thirst, increase in urination, increase or decrease in appetite. Some children will have recent weight loss, abdominal pain or vomiting, headaches or change in vision. A lab test checking for glucose is needed to confirm the diagnosis. A random glucose of 200 or more is the most common test obtained, however a fasting glucose of 126 or more along with symptoms can also be diagnostic. All children with suspicion of new diabetes should be seen immediately for evaluation and treatment. READ MORE
