My daughter recently tried the new CGMS. We saw that her sugar rises on it’s own (without eating food or glucose) when she’s been low, and then can stay high for a long time, in spite of correction boluses. I have a lot of questions about rebound hyperglycemia.

I am worried that my son may have diabetes. He has shown a few signs including severe itching of the bum and also an increased thirst. Could this be an early indication?

Our 10 year old daughter was diagnosed six months ago with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Antibodies were present, but she has no other symptoms. Our pediatric endocrinologist has put her on medication. Do you think treatment is of any benefit at this point?

My son has had type 1 diabetes for one year now. Why, when I test him one and one-half to two hours after eating dinner, is his blood sugar about 150 mg/dl {8.3 mmol/L], and then, about three to four hours later, in the 200s mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L]?

I think that these are symptoms of hypoglycemia, but what I am wondering is if this will go away with age or turn into diabetes.
