Five months ago, we got a 14 year old boy who has had diabetes for two years. His father is an alcoholic, and his mother has severe depressive symptoms. He is rejecting the rules and norms in the care centre. The psychiatric doctor met with the child several times, and he does not think that the child needs psychiatric care. Would you kindly tell me if the psychiatrist is correct?

Everyday, around 9 am, in the middle of school, I get shaky, dizzy, I feel like I’m on the verge of passing out again, I have hot cold flashes, and a couple of times have asked to leave to get something to eat because I thought I was going to pass out. This happens several times a day. Do you think that I have hypoglycemia?

My 16 year old daughter has had type 1 diabetes for five years. She takes three to four shots a day and is still averaging in the 300s mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L]. We have an excellent diabetes team, but they are stumped also. She is being treated for depression, and sees a counselor. Would giving her multiple shots of Humalog (six to eight shots) help?

My nine year old son was urinating every five minutes one night. My wife, who has diabetes, decided to check his blood sugar with her meter. The result indicated a reading of 347 mg/dl. The next morning his reading was 95 mg/dl. On subsequent days, readings before and after meals all have not exceeded 113 mg/dl. Should I be concerned?

I read that current research is now showing the possible importance of C-peptide in preventing long term damage to other organs in the body. Is this the case? Is it possible right now to get C-peptide that can be combined with my daughter’s insulin?
