I have had type 1 diabetes for four years. For the past two years, I have been experiencing symptoms in my feet and hands. I have been a seeing neurologist for these problems, but he does not have an answer. Do have any input as to what might be occurring?

My three and one-half year old son had mild hypospadias and has type 1 diabetes. I have read that exposure to dioxin may contribute to both. I worked in a major environmental laboratory. Should I be looking for any connections? Could exposure “kick start” the autoimmune processes to begin?

I am looking for information about any connection between type 2 diabetes and loss of hearing.

I have noticed a pattern of high readings two hours after lunch. Could this be because the effect of the Ultratard has diminished? I have contemplated by changing to two injections of Ultratard per day. When is the best time to take Ultratard? What percentage should I take at each time?

We have been told that patches would be available. These patches are required to be worn on the thighs or shoulders and could replace the injection. When will these patches, if any, be made available ?

My 21 month old son was diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus several months ago. Is there such a machine that is available to the public to test sodium levels at home?

Is there something my 12 year old daughter can try to ease her discomfort with injections?

My four year son was diagnosed with diabetes six months ago. Sometimes at night, he screams because of pain in the lower right leg. The pain will go away after massaging the muscles for about 30 minutes. His doctor here doesn’t know the reason and thinks it’s normal. What is this?
