Daily Care

My daughter’s blood sugars are good for a few days, then we are in the high range again. We tried to get her an insulin pump about eight months ago, but they told me her C-peptide level was too high. What does this mean? Is there another way to get her better medical care?

Lately, my blood sugar escalated to high levels. My doctor put me back on Diabeta last week, but I can’t seem to get my blood sugar down. Does it take awhile for the medication to get back into my system?

My 59 year old father, who is in relatively good health, was recently diagnosed with diabetes and hypolipidemia by his internist. I have concerns about his diagnoses and treatment. Should he seriously consider a second opinion with an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes treatment?

My 11 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few weeks ago. I can see in just this short period of time that the doctors and dietitians do not share the same motivation that I do with regard to sugar level control. Am I keeping his levels too low? Is an 11 year old child supposed to have higher levels than an adult?

My blood sugar reading is lower when I go to bed than after an all night fast. Is this normal? What can be causing this?

My daughter’s fasting blood glucose is consistently within range, then one to two hours later, she is high, but she comes down nicely or is even low before lunch. Her lunch postprandial blood glucose is within target, but her pre-dinner reading is consistently high. Is it possible that NovoLog is taking that long to work? Could this indicate a need for more Lantus?

My son takes 29 units of Lantus and anywhere from 20 to 35 units of NovoLog a day. I am somewhat confused as to why his insulin sensitivity seems so different than the 1500 or even the 1800 rule. Instead of using these rules, I now base my calculations on the action of 15 grams of carbs. Is there something wrong with this approach?

We recently started taking our daughter to a pediatric endocrinologist who wants to put our daughter on a pump to get better control. At five, our daughter doesn’t want a pump and had a recent A1c of 7.4. Should we get another opinion?
