This week, after new lab tests and following a month of very low blood sugars and no insulin, a different doctor told us that our son is producing insulin. Have you seen similar cases?

My 16 year old niece was diagnosed with type 2 about two years ago. About a week ago, she developed migraines and began vomiting. She was admitted to a hospital diagnosed with ketoacidosis. She slipped into a coma and died four days later. I was told that it had nothing to do with her sugar level, but from what I read and hear, that is not true.

When I talked to this child’s endocrinologist for follow-up, he replied that the DKA was the reason her HbA1c was elevated so high. Is that so? I thought it was a test of average glucose. Can you find any supporting documentation for his answer?

I have had a couple of high blood pressure readings. The endocrinologist was a little concerned about my microalbumin test. He didn’t prescribe any medication, but said that if it is still that high in a year, he will prescribe ACE inhibitors. Can you suggest any dietary guidelines to lower microalbumin/blood pressure naturally?
