My six year old daughter has had type 1 diabetes since age four. My 11 year old niece recovered from Henoch-Schonlein purpura and my two year old nephew is being evaluated for autism. Could there be some autoimmune problem in our family since all of these conditions are autoimmune related?

My 13 year old was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and is using N and R insulin. A person with long-time diabetes told us that R insulin is a thing of the past and is no longer used. Is this true?

My 12 year old granddaughter is on the inhaled insulin trial. About a week ago, she started wheezing and the doctors thought she had developed asthma from the inhaler. After doing tests, they think that it is bacterial due to birds in the home. Can you offer any information?

Is there a pen for glucagon (similar to an Epipen for asthmatics), and if not, why?

My two sons, ages six and nine, were diagnosed with diabetes four years ago, at the same time that a factory opened next door to our residence. Is there an environmental link between certain chemicals (toxic) and developing this disease?

I’ve been experiencing a lot of signs of hypoglycemia like blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness, and feeling shaky and tired. My friend has diabetes, and once and a while, I test my blood sugar with her meter. What do my blood sugar results mean?

My son has had several high readings, way over 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L] that eventually return to normal. Occasional lows are now becoming a problem. Does this sound like the typical onset of type 1 diabetes?

My daughter was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. She has had several hallucinatory episodes that scare and upset me. I am not finding much information on this for young children, so if you can help me out in anyway, I would be most grateful.

My three year old son gets a combination of NPH and Humalog in the morning. ow long can the dose stay good in the syringe? Should it be given within five to ten minutes of combining the insulins or does it matter?
