Will a little baby get diabetes?

Patient's question:

The baby is 16 months old. His father has a family history of diabetes. When I was pregnant, I had a strong craving for sweets (I don't usually like them, and I don't like them much anymore after giving birth). A week ago, I bought "Disney Nutritional Supplements" from a pharmacy in Nanjing. Because the baby is taking Icicle, I purchased Disney's Vitamin AD + Zinc supplement. 3-4 pills a day. The instructions say 6 pills. This one is quite sweet, and the baby loves it. During the day, he drinks normally, but before bed, he always asks for water in bed and can finish 150 ML of water. Now he speaks unclearly and doesn't know whether he wants water or milk, but he drinks whatever you give him. He wakes up in the morning.

Doctor's answer:

None of these can be diagnosed; a blood sugar test is needed. Generally, it is rare for babies to get diabetes. There are many causes of childhood diabetes. If a child is diagnosed with childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
