The Baby Sitters Club- that's why I thought I was diabetic. I was 16 and drinking EVERYTHING, about a gallon of milk a day, a pop, between each class. I would get tired from walking up a flight of stairs, I mean exhausted. So I slept alot and also lost alot of weight, about 10 pound/week. It sounds like your son may need his kidney function tested. Then again, it may just be one of the quirks of puberty. Wishing you and your son health! Keep us updated.
