My five year old daughter has had diabetes for about nine months, and her A1c for the last six months have been 6.6 and 6.5% with fructosamine levels of 308 and 301. She has had some lows over this time, and her doctor says that she is in good control. Is he correct?

My son was on two shots a day until two months ago when he was switched to three (morning, supper, and bedtime). This was “supposed” to help his control, but his numbers are terrible, and the doctor will not put him back on two shots. If his next A1c has gone up, what should we do? Find another doctor or put him back on two shots a day?

My daughter-in-law calls a doctor daily to find out what to give him, but he still goes high and really low.

My daughter, 7 years old, was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago. She is currently on a 3 injection/day program. She is the only one out of 4 diabetics at her school that receives a pre-lunch injection. I am curious as to why more doctors do not recommend the 3 injections/day?

My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 at age nine. She has a lot of anxiety problems. She was recently put on anti-depressants to help. I know that stress and anxiety can raise blood sugar levels, but can a person can get ketones too even if insulin is increased during these times?
