I am 19 and I suspect that I have diabetes. Recently, I have shown signs of diabetes. Last weekend, I smoked some cannabis and have felt “stoned” all week. I don’t know how to get back to normal, and I don’t wish my parents to know.

I have had diabetes for 15 years. Has anyone heard of a plant (called insulin) that is supposed to be good for diabetes? Someone recommended it, but I would like some more information.

My two year old grandson was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three months ago. The number of injections he takes seems to vary a lot (He might take four shots one day, and, the next day one). My daughter-in-law calls a doctor daily to find out what to give him, but he still goes high and really low.

My 13 year old daughter had 24-hour urines performed which showed elevated levels of protein. I made an appointment with a nephrologist who thinks she should be put on an ACE inhibitor. I am very concerned and have many questions I would like answered before starting her on this medication.

Can you tell me why the pump is not at all popular in Australia? I saw one once and had it explained briefly to me. Is it a good alternative to injections for a very active teenager who engages in sports and motorbike riding. How does it work?
