My maternal grandfather has a very serious case of diabetes, diagnosed many years ago. I have been showing some signs. My doctors have tested me for diabetes, but it was negative. Do you think I am at high risk of diabetes? Am I just experiencing some sort of infection?

My five month old son has excessive weight gain. He weighs 25 pounds, but was seven pounds nine ounces birth. He can be shaky and tired a lot and have saturated diapers. A few people have asked me if he was checked for diabetes, which he wasn’t. Should I get him checked?

My 13 year old son, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two and a half years ago, just had a flu vaccine. I receive conflicting answers as to whether the rest of our family (living in the same house) should also be receiving this vaccine for his protection.

Our two and one-half year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 at 12 months of age. I’ve been reading more about the impact of exercise on blood sugars. How do you assess the effect of exercise in a child so young? What is considered “exercise”?

My friend is involved in researching kidney disease. I find one of his preliminary findings both disturbing and interesting. Are the fluctuations in blood sugar causing more damage the kidneys of people with diabetes rather than sustained high blood glucose levels?
