My six year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about three weeks ago. He has also been mildly disfluent since he was about four years of age. We have been working with a speech pathologist who thought that it was developmental, and would go away as he got older. I am desperately looking for any information at all about a connection between disfluency and diabetes.

Her urine was positive for sugar and ketones, and her non-fasting blood sugar was 136 mg/dl [7.6 mmol/L]. The nurse told be to bring her back in a week for a fasting blood sugar. My daughter shows no signs of diabetes. Does this sound like diabetes? Do we need more information?

My friend’s three year old has diabetes. He is in a legal battle over custody because he feels his child is in danger The problem is that the other care giver has and is consistently dropping the child’s sugar well below 70 mg/dl [3.9 mmol/L], most of the times in the 40s [mg/dl, 2.2 mmol/L]. He has hot-lined the mother with child services, but they say without proof that the low blood sugars are harming the child, they can do nothing.
