I’m a 31 year old female with type 1 for just over a year now, and my blood sugars are fairly well controlled. Just recently, I’ve been experiencing pain at the tip of both my big toes. Could this the first signs of neuropathy after just one year?

My 17 year old son, diagnosed at age 12, has developed gynecomastia and needs surgery. Could there be a connection to his type 1 diabetes?

My 11 year old son has had diabetes for a little over one year and has been on an insulin pump for four months now. His levels are fine during the day, but we continue to have trouble with the early night hours. Is this normal for a child this age? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am 23 and have had diabetes for 16 years. For the last two weeks, my morning readings have been skyrocketing to nearly 300 mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L]. I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

What are the chances of a child getting diabetes if the father has insulin dependent diabetes and marries his first cousin? Are the risks greater?

There are some morning when readings are well over 200 mg/dl [ 11.1 mmol/L] even with normal bedtime (80 -100 mg/dl [4.4 -5.6 mmol/L] ) readings. Given the onset time and peak of U, which would be better in controlling the dawn phenomenon, a dinner shot or a bedtime shot?
