I am seeing double in my left eye. I had Bell’s palsy on the same side of my face. Is this a form of stroke which has damaged the optic nerve or could it be that the palsy has affected the sixth as well as the seventh cranial nerve?

What are your thoughts on the new insulin, glargine, just approved by the FDA? Will it replace the need for the pump?

My nine year old son recently had a two hour after meal serum blood glucose level of 132 mg/dl [7.3 mmol/L]. I know that the range for a person who does not have diabetes should be 65-109 mg/dl [3.6-6 mmol/L]. Is it unusual for a person who does not have diabetes to have such a variance?

I was diagnosed with low blood sugar about five months ago. I can tell when my sugar is bad, but should I ask about getting a sugar tester?
