They don’t seem concerning the ChatGPT. Her levels even out by late afternoon. That’s a good sign.

This. Even an actual doctor can't diagnose from a vague online description.

She needs her A1C level checked if diabetes is a concern.

No, she‘s never had COVID.

If she struggles to gain weight, I suggest you see a gastroenterologist to see if she has an issue with malabsorption or possibly celiac disease.
That’s reassuring to hear. She came to me freaking out, worried she might have diabetes, especially with her parent, aunt, and grandmother all having it. It definitely scared us, so we wanted to be sure. We’ll follow up with a specialist to get clarity.

Anonymous wrote:It's not diabetes. It sounds like she has very stable blood sugar. Diabetics are thirsty because their kidneys are trying to get rid of the excess sugar through very frequent urination. This is why diabetics are excessively thirsty. It's not because they have a dry mouth. The dry mouth could be from a stuffed nose, mouth breathing, clogged salivary gland, or even something like thrush.
She does urinate more often, which is why we were concerned.
