This is actually how my son's dibetes started. He just started drinking and urinating all the time and sleeping in between. Seriously, the only thing he woke up for was to go to the bathroom (and sometimes even that did not wake him up). He had asthma, and whenever he would start to get sick from that he would sleep all the time, so we assumed that was what it was. Well, after a couple of days of this, I finally took him into the doc, and his blood sugar was over 800. He was as close as you can get to being in a coma without actually doing it. It was terrifying, and he doesn't remember one bit of it. Now when he is high, he doesn't even notice anymore. Basically, all you can do to try and prevent it is to control your sugars. Good luck!
