My son, age 7 1/2, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes about 6 months ago. A few months before then, my son had started to “adjust” himself. Through the summer, he did it more frequently. And then, he was diagnosed with diabetes. Can I eliminate diabetes as the cause for this behavior?

My son is 12 and has had Type I diabetes for 5 years. Our biggest problem is that he continues to wet the bed. We have tried an alarm. He sleeps through it. We have tried DDAVP and it works for a few weeks and then it does not.

I have a client using Humalog in her pump. Several months after pump initiation, she and her provider noted pitting atrophy at her infusion sites. They switched back to buffered Regular and noted some improvement. Has the Humalog been noted to cause this reaction in other “pumpers”?
