My 6 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 1/2 years ago. He currently has moderate hypoglycemias (in the low 50’s) every one out of every 5 or 6 blood glucose tests. Are the lows a concern for brain development at his age, and if not, how low of an hbA1c should we try for?

My six year old cannot make it through school without an extra snack. Recently, she was admitted to the hospital with a blood glucose of 21 mg/dl [1.2 mmol/L] which the pediatrician believes was caused by pneumonia. I am uneasy with that assumption. Is there cause for concern?

A friend of mine has a daughter who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two months ago, and she will be living alone when her college roommate leaves soon. My friend was told that if his daughter passes out from low blood sugar, her body will adjust itself and she will wake up on her own. Is this possible?
