My two year old grandson has just started to drink alot and pee alot. We don’t give him sweets very often but if he sees it he has to have it. He doesn’t like to eat much and will refuse food sometimes all day. I force the first bite of food on him, then he may eat the rest of it. I am probably worrying about this too much because we have a family history, but not for type 1.

My daughter Jess was diagnosed at 2 and a half…her pediatrician noted “excess sugar” in her urine, but told us not to worry…3 days later she was in the hospital with blood sugar over 400!
Prior to this, I had noticed the she seemed to always be “firsty” (thirsty). Having 7 aunts and uncles with diabetes, I was immediately suspicious and took her to the doctor.
I would recommend you do the same…better safe than sorry.
My daughter is a 23 yr old college grad and is currently using the insulin pump.

If you want to be sure, his parents should take him to the doctor. Now, I can say my youngest wasn’t a big eater when he was that age. Actually, he never was, not even as baby, and even now he still eats rather not. He did drink a lot when he had his “hardcore” (that’s how we called it when he wouldn’t eat for a day) non-eating periods and then he would go more to the toilet then other times, but that was normal considering the amount of water/milk/juice he would drink.
To be on the safe side, go to the doctor, but from personal experience I can say it’s probably his way of acting on the lesser eating. I took my kid to the doctor too to get him checked out, ’cause diabetes is a well known condition in our family too, but it wasn’t the problem.
