Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have bed wetting problem , she is also diabetic . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like small bladder , nerves that control the bladder are slow to mature , hormone imbalance , stress , urinary tract infection , sleep apnea and diabetes . In your case the symptoms are either due to weak nervous control or diabetes I would suggest you to consult endocrinologist for diabetes and hormonal changes and psychologist for nervous control . For now ask her to consume less water in the evening and avoid beverages and foods with caffeine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
