I recently read on the Internet that immunizations may have something to do with contracting diabetes. Could you please comment on this?

I have type 2, and I am also trying to get pregnant with the help of fertility specialists. If I know I’m going to be up late (past 1 am or so) should I take my nightly insulin later? How quickly is a woman’s blood sugar affected by pregnancy?

My six year old daughter is has been complaining of itching after she urinates. I have also noticed that her appetite is changing, and when I brush her hair, I notice that a lot of it is coming out. A friend said that is what happened to her when she was diagnosed with diabetes. Are these symptoms?

My 14 1/2 year old daughter has had diabetes for almost six years. She does fine until she has had a few days of frequent exercise, then she tests her blood sugar before bed, thinks everything is okay, but she has a seizure between 2 am and 5 am. I am concerned about this.
