I am 29 years old and have type 2 diabetes. My blood sugars, at this point in time, run about 450 mg/dl [25 mmol/L] which I know is very high. I really want to have a baby, but my doctors say that won’t happen until I get my blood sugars down. Is this right? Do you have any suggestions on how to get pregnant?

I have had diabetes for six years and had a high random urine test for microalbumin. I was also told that I have a urinary tract infection. They want me to collect a 24-hour urine sample. However, I asked if I should wait until the UTI clears up and was told that there was no connection between the UTI and elevated protein levels. I feel that this is very wrong information.

What are the risks of pregnancy at an older age after long-term diabetes? I recently turned 37, have had type 1 since the age of 12, and hypothyroidism since the age of 11. I only married three years ago, and. five months later, I went into DKA. It has taken me years to get back to anywhere near normal blood sugar numbers. I went on a pump three months ago.

My three year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 20 months of age. Our biggest problem is getting her to eat what we serve at meal time. She seems to be figuring out that she can get her way by carrying on, and then I’ll give her what she wants. This doesn’t seem to be fair to her brother since we make him eat whatever is served. Can you offer any advice as to how I can get my daughter to eat what is served?

My husband recently has had two seizures in the middle of the night. We are now seeing a neurologist who believes the seizures (particularly the second one) are not related to diabetes. Our endocrinologist thinks otherwise.

I have had type 1 diabetes for 37 years. I am now 47 years of age. Three years ago, I was diagnosed as having colon cancer. I had a friend who also had type 1 diabetes. She died from colon cancer the day before my surgery for the same type of cancer. Do you know of any connection between diabetes and cancer?
