Suggest Medical Tests To Rule Out Diabetes
my son has always drank alot. usually tea or juice. He is Autistic and has had blood work in the past. I recently read about T1D. Should I have to worry about my son since hes had blood work several times in his 21 years or do they have to a specific test for Diabetes?

Hello,
If the tests he ran resulted negative for diabetes, or sugar was found okay, then no worry for type 1 diabetes.
Drinking water is okay as long as he sweats ( if it's hot) or peeing normally. Check his kidneys also. However I still think it's not related to any organic issue but to his autistic disorder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
All the best.
