Would high blood sugar levels affect the results of a Breathalyzer test, such as giving false readings?
My son (17) has had diabetes for 2 years. We realize he was smoking marijuana for 2 months. We discuss it with him, and is not doing it anymore, but he told us it was not “dangerous” for his diabetes. Can you give us more information about “consequences” of marijuana in diabetics?

My husband and four year old son have diabetes. I see some products and activities which warn that they may pose a risk to those with weakened immune systems. Are people with type 1 diabetes considered to have weakened immune systems?
My 15 year old son has diabetes, and in the past couple of years, I have noticed a big change in his underarm odor, even though he takes a couple of showers a day. I am wondering now if it has more to do with his diabetes, than just hormones from being a teenager.
My four year old daughter has type 1 diabetes, and I am very concerned about the bioterror attacks and their effect on my daughter. If the CDC recommends that we begin vaccinations would our kids be first in line? How can we protect our kids dealing with diabetes too?
My husband, who controls his diabetes with pills (for 5 years now), is an over-the road truck driver. If and when he has to go on insulin, will he lose his commercial driver’s license?
I am 38 years old. I have had type 1 diabetes for 25 years. For the last few years, I have been having severe itching, predominantly on my back, and particularly on areas which have tight clothing. Is there anything related to the diabetes which could be causing the itching? If so, what is the most appropriate way of getting treatment for this?
