My seven year old daughter was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I am confused to how many sugar free items (diabetic chocolate or sugar free gummy bears) she is allowed. She has been following her diet very well and is not a big junk food eater, although sometimes she would like an occasional sweet even if it is sugar free.

My seven year old daughter has frequent headaches, and, in the last few months, has been asking to go to the nurse in the afternoon at school with complaints of dizziness, nausea (never vomits), and headaches. The teacher says she becomes ashen and has circles under her eyes. Since there is diabetes in the family, I am concerned that she may have a problem.

My four year old daughter has had type 1 diabetes for two and a half years, and we have never really been able to control her morning blood sugars. Her doctors do not recommend starting her on three shots a day because of her age.

Should I avoid giving my three and one-half year old daughter chocolate milk, puddings, etc., as I was told by some people that this will bring out the gene producing diabetes? Is it true that feeding her too much sugar will bring the diabetes out, maybe not now, but possibly later on in life, and that if she is not given this sugar and chocolate, it may lay dormant for her entire life?

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two years ago. and has never really been in control. Now, does not want to do the fingerprick tests and is really depressed. I am very worried because her blood sugars are usually in the range of 13-20 mmol/L [234- 360 mg/dl].

Our five and one-half old daughter was just diagnosed with type1 diabetes, which we found very early. She has not had any symptoms. We have started to monitor her blood sugar level, but have not started insulin.
