Q: could my daughter have diabetes

My daughter is an active 3 year old, however she continues to gain weight. I am concerned that maybe she might have diabetes. She complains that she is hungry even after she eats a meal, she urinates frequently although it is sometimes more of a dribble than a full pee, and she still has a full overnight even if she doesn't get a drink 1-2 hrs before bed. She isn't due for a well-check appt again til March however I am concerned and would like some advise.
