11 yr old, going to the bathroom constantly, drinking alot too?

Question:

i have wonder about her excessive peeing problem for months now. she is always in the bathroom wether she has to pee or has a gut ache. she is only here everyother weekend but she is going all day and at least 2-3 times during the night. already today she has had like 4 glasses of stuff to drink. i don't notice excessive tiredness but she does say that she is tired quite abit. i know that sometimes she has accidents during the nite because i find her wet stuff in the laundry the next day. i was going to say something to her mother but i just wanted some more thoughts on this. as far as i know no one on either side has diabites.

Answers:
2-3 times a night is not normal. Please try to get her into a doctor or urgent care clinic today.

Not only are frequent urination and excessive thirst signs of Diabetes, but abdominal pains are a very bad sign of high blood sugar. Other signs to borry about are hunger, weight loss (even if she is over-weight but losing it) and tiredness and blurred vision.

It could be some other problem, but better safe than sorry.

it could infection ,diabities and many other things.should see a doctor.

have her mother get her tested. these are a few of the symptoms of diabetes.

Well if she has active lifestyle, then it may be normal and you don't have to worry. But if she didn't have active lifestyle like playing sports and exercising, then she might have. Does she have any vision problems?

Go to the doctor to make sure of what it mayh be. It might be an infection so the best thing to do is to get medication for it and ask the doctor. Good luck.

i was just diagnosed this year with diabetes and this sounds exactly like the symptoms i had. another symptom is dry mouth and weight loss. even if she doesnt have those symptoms i would still consult a doctor.
Also no one on either side of my family had diabetes

see webmd. then call the doctor soon

she could have a bladder problem tell her mom about it be for it gets serous and to go see a Doctor is probably the best thing to do right now or the emergency room like the hospital good luck

Urinary tract infection, diabetes, etc. Is she sensitive to sunlight or does she constantly complain about eye problems (dry, itchy, etc)? There is a very rare disease/condition...and of course I can't remember the name of it...I saw it last year on the medical channel. It was discovered by seeing crystals in the little boys eyes. It was also a dangerous disease that if went undiagnosed. But anyway, it is highly unlikely to be that. It is probably something simple or even nothing BUT she should be checked out by her doctor sooner than later. Good luck!

She should pay a visit to the doctor as soon as possible. There are a couple of thngs that could be going on - she could have diabetes or she could have an issue with her bladder. Any way you look at it, she needs to be taken to the doctor.

These do sound like classic signs of diabetes. It's a very quick blood test to find out. Even if it isn't diabetes, then really something IS wrong that needs to be followed up on.
