My senior citizen mom has type 1 diabetes and is having a lot of problems, but resents any help or interference, and my dad does not want to give up his independence. My siblings and I have spoken to them, but nothing has changed for the better. What suggestions do you have and what agencies might be helpful?

For several years, I have had frequent high blood sugars in the morning. When this started, I do not recall changing insulin doses. The levels, however, are not always high, and so I hesitate increasing my insulin dose at night. Do you know of anyone in the Toronto area who could put me on a CGMS to help me determine exactly what is happening at night?

I have had diabetes for 12 years treated with 30 units of NPH, and I have not seen my doctor because of my money problems. However, I want to know how I can straighten out my insulin doses because I’m totally off and afraid of the effects of what might happen.

I am a 33 year old female who has had a few urinary tract infections in the past year. Twice, when I went to donate plasma, the doctor told me I had sugar in my urine. Can having a urinary tract infection put sugar in your urine?

I currently take my daughter to a children’s hospital, but they are not only (in my opinion) incompetent and slow, but will not consider items like the pump. How do I find a set of doctors I can work with?

My six year old son is on a pump and doing great, but I need to find a new doctor for my son’s diabetes care. There seems to be only one doctor in this town who treats pediatric diabetes, and, while there is a doctor who comes once a month from elsewhere, he said that he doesn’t like pumps. Any suggestions?

I am on the child/parent support group committee, for Diabetes UK, and I am finding it harder and harder to make children, and their parents, aware that we are here for them. There has to be a way that I can find these newly diagnosed children without breaking the data protection.
