I’m 16 years old, and have had diabetes for almost two years. I switched to Intensive management, and got my HbA1c in the 7’s (7.0-7.4). With this better control, I have been going low very frequently (5-8 times a week), and have now been considering a pump. How long do you usually recommend your patients to try a treatment option before switching to a new one?

I’m 30 years old and in my 28th week of pregnancy. I had the glucose test this morning. I was asked to fast for 8-14 hours. I was then tested one hour after taking the medication. About 20 minutes after taking the medication, I became very sleepy and tired. Could this be a sign of what my test results may show?

I’m 21 years old and all of my life I’ve had extremely low blood sugar levels. Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been having extreme mood swings, and I burn through the food I eat a lot faster than normal. I’ve had to add another meal to my day in order to keep from passing out. Do you feel I should contact my doctor?
