A member asked:

Daughter eating drinkin alot not seeing any weight loss has been going on for months should i still get her tested she's 5?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testing: Get her tested for What?I'm assuming you are worried about diabetes.Most children at this age with new onset DM start wetting the bed at night when previously dry.They tend to urinate a lot and do tend to loss a lot of weight.If you have a strong family history of diabetes she is at risk, but these symptoms alone are not red flags. If you have a family member with DM you could test her blood sugar
