I am a 43 year old female with type 1 for 30 years. I have a question concerning rebounding. Often when I expect my sugar to be somewhat low I find at testing that it is 10-12 mmol/l [180-216 mg/dl]. Could those “highs” be some form of rebounding or what is else causing them?

I appreciated your earlier reply to a question about the safety of syringe and lancet reuse where you listed references, however, all of the references were about insulin reuse, not lancet reuse. What is your source for safe lancet reuse?

I am 13 years old and we are using 70/30 for morning and evening and Regular if over 200, 2 shots a day. I am using a general practioner for a doctor. I am having blood sugars that are averaging okay except at evening before meal — I am always around 250. Should I be using different insulins yet at my age?

Please, can you explain me my 5 year old nephew’s GTT results? All urine glucose were negative. He had a former 2 hour postprandial blood sugar value of 116. He is not diagnosed yet. Does this results mean he is diabetic?

My daughter, age 11, has had Type 1 for 4 years. Her annual urinalysis had trace protein and a microalbumin of 100, so her physician ordered a 24 hour urine for protein and microalbumin. While waiting for the results to come back, I’m searching for reasons why she should be showing signs of nephropathy so early.

My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with diabetes 4 weeks ago. I read a posting about taking nicotinamide to prolong the honeymoon period. Would it hurt to try it?
