Little sister is always asking for water but only takes a sip, pees often, but she is at a healthy weight. eats candy offen. could she have diabetes?

Happens/but unlikely: Most kids who drink/pee often do so out of habit, carrying around a drink most of the day. A kid can develop diabetes at almost any age, but these drink great quantities and loose weight fast. Rare kids can also have a kidney concentrating defect and water is lost fast.Your doc can sort this out.
