[quote=Anonymous]Type 2 diabetes is increasing in kids, but is still pretty rare. Does your son have symptoms like excessive thirst, urination, fatigue, or frequent infections, or sores that heal slowly? If he had type 1 diabetes, he would probably be loosing weight and very tired. Type 1 is usually not linked to weight High cholesterol in young kids is rare too. I would have your son keep a food and exercise diary for a week before you go to the DR and show it to her. Aim to exercise at least an hour a day. Teach him about nutrition and how to cook some basic healthy dishes Also, diabetes and obesity runs in my family. My son loves to watch the Biggest Loser, which can be a big eye opener. I watch with him and we talk about it. [/quote]
