Lethargic, Paleness, Clammy, Abdominal Pain, Lips Turn White, Belly Cramps, Foul Smell. Diabetes?

hi my almost 3 year old son has became lathargic 3 times in 3 years almost and every time he turns pale n clammy and last time this happpend we called the emt and he said his sugar was a little high but not enough to cause that after my son felt a little better he said his belly hurt the first 2 times this happend and this happend again today (months after the last episode) and he became pale and his lips turned white and we gave him a little bit of jelly and boom within less than a min.of eating jelly he felt all better n wanted his belly kissed better because it had hurt but only for a minute could this be because of his blood sugar or because he had a bad belly cramp? also he barley eats actual food he picks all day long sometimes but sometimes eats barley nothing and he always wants junk food i try not to gove him any but my grandparents will so i was thinking his diet could be part of the problam to? im freaking out thinking hes a diabetic or something!

Hello,

It is basically the food habit of you son which might be causing this problems.
For a growing child like your son balanced and quality nutrition is important for both physical and mental growth.
Junk food are high in calories and are low in vitamins and minerals.
It as high in salt content and artificial preservatives and flavoring.
This may cause gastritis and pancreatitis.
In the long run it will cause childhood obesity.
