Hi! Another T1D parent here. Always nice to "meet" other parents. My daughter was 4 when diagnosed. She is now in her 20's. She is doing well! Technology and awareness has improved so much.

To the original poster-it could be T1D related, but my daughter never experienced that, nor have I heard of that as common.

Do talk to your end and see what the blood sugar levels are at night.

We are hoping the best for you; good luck.

My child T1D since 8 and is now 16. No issues after diagnosis. Talk to her doctor.

My Type 1 diabetic child (diagnosed at 9 yo) has never wet the bed. This sounds like something else. Is she using a CGM? Dexcom is a game changer for blood sugar control.

No, we've never had urinary issues post diagnosis. His A1C at diagnosis was 9 so if hers is 9 then it could be and you need to work on that.

T1 parent here.

This is not normal. Nighttime accidents are a sign of poorly controlled blood glucose at night. Your child’s numbers could be good during the day and spiking at night.

This has been going on for 3 years? Have you discussed this with your Endo?

Does your child wear a CGM?

Use a pump?

T1d parent here. High blood sugar makes a person drink a lot and pee a lot. So if she’s not on a CGM, this is a clue that she’s probably going high during the night.

Can you get a CGM? It makes a big difference. Sometimes insurance won’t approve it right away but can be convinced later.

Talk to her doctor.

is her blood sugar controlled?

My kid was 13 when diagnosed. She’s never had bedwetting issues but definitely is thirsty when she’s high. Does your kid have a cgm?

My dc was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 3 and bedwetting was an issue for a while. High glucose levels result in feelings of thirst and the need for frequent urination - the bodies attempt to flush out ketones. Do you have an endocrinologist and a diabetes educator you can speak to?

Not totally related, but when my children were little, I noticed if they had ice cream or another sweet before bed, there was always an accident. Makes a lot of sense that this happens with Type 1 diabetics due to blood sugar levels.

My DD was diagnosis was Type 1 dibetes when she was 10. They said the reason for her wetting the bed at night, its under control most of the time, but she 13 and she still having accidents about twice or three times a month, does it mean the levels were bit high when she went to sleep? Does someone with Type 1 trend to have accidents ?
