I am 39, eight months pregnant with my fourth child, and weigh 173 pounds. I’m going in for a three-hour glucose test because my one- hour test was elevated. Having had low blood sugar most of my life, how can it be, that all of a sudden my levels are high?

I am now 18 weeks pregnant and had gestational diabetes with my first son two years ago. Out of curiosity, I checked my levels one hour after eating, and it was 120 mg/dl [6.7 mmol/L]. Do you think this is high?

What test should I press for if any? Could it be my insulin levels contributing to my symptoms? Should I just be thankful for some relief and just wait until something else happens?

My daughter has three children and had gestational diabetes with all three. What are the odds they will develop diabetes? How careful should we be with their diet?

My 35 year old friend was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a trip to Egypt. Her doctors think she may have contracted the virus here. How is the virus transmitted, and what are early symptoms?

Could you please list all foods with no carbohydrates?

My husband has had type 1 diabetes for 11 years now. We are done having children. Are there risks associated with a vasectomy?

I have two teenagers with type 1 and I would like information on whether or not insulin pumps are a good choice for adolescents. My children’s endocrinologist doesn’t want to help me get these items. He says we can get the same results with four injections a day.
