My nephew, who has type 1 diabetes and lives in Mexico, takes no medicines nor does he see a doctor because his family is poor. He has gone into a diabetic coma and been treated at the hospital, but once he is stable, they let him go with prescriptions which they cannot afford to fill. In addition, they have had no information or classes on how to live with diabetes. Please help us help our nephew.

My daughter has had diabetes for about two and a half years, and even though she is currently seeing an endocrinologist, her blood sugars have averaged 300 mg/dl [16. 7 mmol/L] for almost a year now, and I am tired. He is our third doctor. I cannot find a pediatric endocrinologist who will see her and help me manage her diabetes. I have exhausted my resources. Does anyone know of any pediatric endocrinologist in our area?

I am 25 years old, I have a bachelor’s degree in mass communications and public relations, and I’ve come to realize that diabetes is my life, and I think there is a reason that I have it — to help others! So, I’ve been contemplating the idea of going back to school, working on a nursing degree and eventually becoming a diabetes educator. Are there any grants or scholarships?
