My husband and I have recently been discussing starting a family. My biggest concern is my blood pressure. I worry about being taken off of these medications. How might this affect a baby? November 5, 1999 Posted in: Family Planning Read My daughter is 21. She had been a pump user for about 6 months. In the last two years, she has had to be hospitalized on 4 occasions due to unexplained rises in her blood glucose, to over 500. Is there any possible explanation (without being able to examine her) that can be given for such events? November 5, 1999 Posted in: Hyperglycemia and DKA Read I am 16 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about six weeks ago. After two weeks my blood sugars were consistently between 75 and 100, but then they slowly started going up. Increasing insulin doesn’t seem to work. A few doctors have suggested that I get an antibody test to see if it is a problem with the pituitary gland. November 5, 1999 Posted in: Daily Care Read My 9 year old daughter has had Type 1 for almost a year. It seems to me that the carbohydrates in milk and yogurt have much less of an effect on blood glucose than the carbs in fruit and starches. Any suggestions about how to count them?

November 4, 1999 Posted in: Research: Causes and Prevention Read I am a second year college student and am living off campus for the first time. This means that I have to go shopping for myself and cook too. I was wondering if you could tell me a meal plan that would be cost efficient and healthy? November 4, 1999 Posted in: Meal Planning, Food and Diet Read My son was recently diagnosed with strep throat. It was rudely suggested that he had developed the illness because his glucose was not being properly managed. Is it possible for a child’s immune system to be harmed by erratic numbers, to the point that he could contract disease (strep) more easily? November 4, 1999 Posted in: Aches and Pains Read I am 16 years old and have just recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. My doctors have told me I have severely low blood sugar. I know this is not diabetes but I can’t find any information on it. I was wondering is this a serious condition? November 4, 1999 Posted in: Hypoglycemia Read My boyfriend is a 21 year old Type 1 diabetic, diagnosed when he was 3. His health on average is good, but I worry about his lack of concern when his blood readings are very high and when he has insulin reactions. I worry constantly and I can’t take the heartbreak of more frequent insulin reactions. November 4, 1999 Posted in: Behavior Read My 5 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes only about a month ago. He is now in the honeymoon and only receives 5 units of NPH in the morning. Even though he gets no insulin after 9:00�A.M., he still wakes up often with a blood sugar below 50. Why is he waking up so low?
