My sister has been scheduled for a second ultrasound due to her baby’s weight. We don’t know whether it’s a mix-up on how far along she is, or if the baby is a diabetic. What does this mean for the baby and the pregnancy?

My nephew is 19 and has had diabetes since he was 12. The problem is that he doesn’t take very good care of himself. He is very skinny and takes laxatives about every day. After he eats he either vomits or he is constantly in the bathroom.

My four year old son recently started urinating quite frequently. He also drinks a lot of fluids, like juice, soda, and water. He sometimes complains about his leg being stiff or hurting. Do you think I should be concerned and have him checked for diabetes or do you think it is nothing to worry about?

My son was diagnosed 2 months ago. He is 7 years old. His blood sugar readings have been sporadic and it doesn’t seem as if we can get control. He takes 8-9 units of 70/30 with breakfast and 3 units of the same insulin with dinner. Do you have any suggestions?

Your response to the woman who was taking her child to the chiropractor was rather closed-minded. I know that my quality of living has been drastically improved by receiving Chiropractic and Medical care at the same time.
