I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 30 weeks. I am on a diet and insulin before bed. I check my blood sugars three times a day. My doctor said that I should probably start taking the “other” insulin. It is all driving me out of my mind. How unlikely would it be for me to be induced one or two weeks early? Would this be too risky for lung maturity and breathing/sucking?

Our son who just got on an insulin pump and is on fast acting insulin which starts working in five minutes. Is it a bad idea to wait until after the meal to give him the bolus? Our rationale is we can tailor the bolus to exactly how much he ate, but, if his blood sugar is rising quickly, this may not be the optimum timing.

About a year ago, our 16 year old son, who was a child of perfect health, began having grand mal seizures. We don’t understand why and have not been able to come up with any answers. He has also developed hypoglycemia. Could the seizures be related to the hypoglycemia? If so, how do we begin to control it?
