He is being told this seems to be a strep infection, but after a week of intravenous treatments, his ankle continues to be swollen and red. How typical is such an infection for diabetics, what is the course of this, prognosis, and treatment(s)?

I am a 32 year old female. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 18. Over the last 2 years, I have had an increasing problem with insulin resistance. My doctors think that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCO). Do you have any information on other women with diabetes and PCO who are taking oral medication in addition to Insulin?

My son, currently 5 years old, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 1.5 years ago, when we were living in the U.S. Unfortunately I’ve got a family history of gluten intolerance also. Now I have learned from research publications that diabetes occasionally causes coeliac sprue. Couldn’t it be the other way around?
