[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 486073, member: 11001"] My husband is diabetic (type 2) and son was prediabetic (diagnosed with metabolic disorder). Neither one was thirsty beyond normal. My son even tested normal using my husbands blood sugar monitor. It wasn't until we saw an endocrinologist and did a fasting then-nonfasting blood work-up that we caught the fact he was headed into diabetes.(This is complicated to explain how they look at many things to make the diagnosis.) We also did an initial A1C. He does those several times a year still. He actually took metformin for awhile but now controls it with diet. Both my guys are large humans-tall, big shoulders and a bit pudgy which is a type 2 thing usually. I don't know about type 1 except I have taught many kids who have had it. When they were low in blood sugar they were all pretty green and sick looking. I know rage and anger can be part of it, I never saw it. You have to rule out everything-it wouldn't hurt to see someone about this. By the way my son would stuff his face-eat fast too. Nothing I did seemed to help that until he hit his teens and it just wasn't cool. [/QUOTE]
