My son is six years old and has had type 1 for about a year. He needs a tonsillectomy and the doctor is advising me to give him two-thirds of the NPH in the morning. Since he cannot eat possibly the whole day, is it still okay for him to have NPH in the morning?

The nerves on the bottom of my feet are very sensitive. Can anything be done?

I have heard recently that it is possible for someone who has a hypoglycemic reaction, and does not treat it, to die from it. Is this true?

When a person with diabetes is in ketoacidosis can there be a false reading of being intoxicated when having to take a breathalyzer test since ketones are an alcohol (or so I’ve been told)?

My three year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes six months ago. He has just had a viral infection which has caused his sugars to fluctuate badly. Is it true that children with diabetes have a poorer immune system? Is there anything we can include in his diet to increase his immunity?

My blood sugar reading is lower when I go to bed than after an all night fast. Is this normal? What can be causing this?
