Wow, just reading this. How is your son, poor kid So, was his diabetes not controlled at that moment? I had one son become severely dehydrated and he passed out completely. People with diabetes have an increased risk for dehydration and it's important to monitor that intake. I know it is hard! But we worked with a marked water bottle. My son had to drink to the lines on the bottle matched with a digital watch. Maybe that would work for your little guy.
Hi, the biggest part is getting diagnosed. The next big challenge is learning to manage this well. Please ask any questions to your diabetes management team.... and you are also welcome to discuss here.
The best advise I know is to monitor closely. Ask his team if he can be qualified for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This will be super helpful. Look into low carb to assist management. This is suitable, even for children. On utube check out "Bernstein Diabetes University" and "children"... you will find a series of presentation that can help increase your knowledge about diabetes and it's management.
Wishing you and your son very well.
