Although diabetes is a common disease, parents still often 'overdiagnose' their kids as being sick with diabetes. In a child, simply drinking a lot or urinating a lot is often not a real symptom of diabetes, unless it is accompanied by weight loss or other symptoms. Diabetes can be harder to diagnosis in teens and adults, who instead of losing weight, are often overweight when they have diabetes. This diabetes profiler can help you figure out if you or your child has any of the symptoms of diabetes.
