Last year during my scheduled doctor’s visit my blood sugar was at 121. This year I went back and he called and left word that my level was at 348. Could it be possible that two days after a 3 hour dental appointment with Novocaine or some type of drug it could have made a spike like this?

I have a good friend who is a 38 year old male, who is quite thin, and has had diabetes since age 12. He is on 70/30, and is having severe swings in blood glucose. I have suggested that he ask his doctor to try him on mixing, rather than the pre-mix, but he is uncomfortable asking this without something in writing that might back up his question.

My father has diabetes (he can’t have sugar and has to control his diet and take tablets). He has had this for five years. His mother has recently been diagnosed with the same but she is 80 years old. Do I have to worry about getting diabetes myself?

My son was diagnosed hyperinsulinemia. He is 9 years old and the endocrinologist put him on Glucophage twice a day. I haven’t found much information on Glucophage in treatment of hyperinsulinemia and I was wondering if you had any information on it.

My 7 year old daughter has had a rash for over 2 weeks. Diabetes runs in our family. I have access to a home meter and have tested her count 3 times today, all 3-4 hours after meals, one count was 126, then 99, then 108. I’m debating on whether to bring these readings to the attention of our doctor.
