I am writing to you as I am very concerned about my niece who is 2 years and 4 months old. Is it normal procedure for a toddler who has been diagnosed 3 weeks ago, to still be so unbalanced and going from an extreme high to an extreme low? Do you think that we should seek help from doctors in a nearby country?

I have a nephew who supposedly was waking up in the middle of the night with so-called nightmares. He woke up and seemed to have lack of control of his body. I saw an individual with low blood sugar once and his actions were similar. Can you advise me on anything or let me know if this could be related?

My 15 year old daughter has had “brittle diabetes” for 6 years now. Her blood sugars are erratic because her eating is out of control. Are there special places to send teens with diabetes who are way out of control to teach them how to deal with this?

I’m currently using Humalog in the pump and planning a pregnancy. The doctor hasn’t said anything about switching insulins. If your blood sugar has to be 105 before meals and no higher then 120 one hour after, how would you adjust if the Humalog peaks after 2 hours?

I understand there is a new 24 hour long acting insulin which has just been approved for marketing by the FDA. It is Lantus Glargine, made by Hoechst. Will this be a better option than NPH or Ultralente for a 4 year old recently diagnosed Type 1 child?
