Can babies 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 sweet foods (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 bought 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:

All of this cannot be diagnosed; a blood sugar test is needed. Generally, it is rare for babies to get diabetes.
