children with DIABETES - Ask the Diabetes Team



		Ask the Diabetes Team

Question:
From Bloomington, Indiana, USA:
My eight year old son has several headaches a week and is very hyper after eating a large meal. He also seems to crave sweets more than a normal child. It is almost as if he has to have sweets. Could this be a sign of diabetes? He did have some blood work done a couple of years ago, but the results didn't show anything. He has also had several CAT scans for his headaches with no results.
Answer:
Those symptoms are not likely to represent diabetes. See symptoms of diabetes.
