You shouldn't have to, you should only need to ask. Your doc might just take the urine test first and take it from there. |

Blood tests will eliminate any serious conditions to save any worries., as urine tests can be misleading.Doctors will never say you're being too fussy so don't worry |

It will also check her sugar levels, and her kidney function. A blood test is more certain than a urine test for glocose. |

Hi Carole, My grandson was like this when he was 8 yrs old no other symptoms just constantly thirsty, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Hope this is not what is wrong , but to be sure you must have her tested as soon as possible |

LIke the others have said, get her urine tested for sugars, and if there is any doubt, ask for a blood test as well. |

Let her drink plently, but make sure she cuts back a little on the sweets and sugars. Don't give her any fizzy drinks as they are almost pure sugar. |
