Need Medication For Diabetes Insipidus
My 2 1/2 yo has central diabetes insipidus and is on 70 mcg of Ddavp daily. Her urine has been smelling odd over night so I bought UA sticks. It shows specific gravity of 1.020, ketones of 40 ++ph 6, protein of 15+_. Everything else is negative. Should she the doctor again to adjust meds or does this sound normal?

madam
those readings are not entirely normal and u need to visit an endocrinologist and undergo further evaluation and necessary modification to the child's treatment.
any further comments online would be irrational without further info and would cause more confusion to the scenario
