I am 35 years old and in my third trimester of pregnancy. My question is, is it safe to use “Equal” and if so how much? I really enjoy sugar and cream in my coffee in the morning.

Will there ever be a diet to cure diabetes like the one they have for epilepsy? The one for epilepsy controls the seizures.

I recently read that said that the average of blood glucose levels determined by the hemoglobin A1c test, not whether you have periods of highs and lows, determines the long-term complications. Is there any updated information on this?

My son has shown high levels of sugar in two urine tests which were days apart. I believe that my husband has renal glucosuria. The doctor wants to go through the “steps”. How would you suggest we proceed to have this situation evaluated in light of the family history?

My 10 year old niece was diagnosed 10 months ago with type 1. Her mother consistently counts the about of “carbs” she can have at each snack and meal, but I feel like she is not getting enough “real food”. My sister-in-law rarely cooks, and seems to be content to give her pre-packaged foods.

My 32 year old pregnant daughter, who is due in 10 weeks, has just developed gestational diabetes. Her husband is saying it is all her fault. Is there any information on-line to ease her mind on the subject?
