2 year old shakes when waking up? normal? signs of diabetes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Totally normal: Assuming the shaking is brief, it's totally normal. Usually myoclonic jerking in the muscles. If it's really more of a shaking and it's prolonged, more than just a few seconds, then discuss it with his pediatrician. Very unlikely to be diabetes though unless he's having drinking and urination issues, or failure to thrive.

Probably normal: If your 2yo is otherwise well, likely he or she is just more shakey unpon awakening which is completely normal. If, however, shakiness persists all day, if it reoccurs when he/she is hungry, if you notice increased hunger and thirst, or if he/she is otherwise not well and not thriving, see your pediatrician.
