I am 28 years old, and was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12. My husband and I have recently been discussing starting a family. My biggest concern is my blood pressure. I worry about being taken off of these medications. How might this affect a baby?

My daughter is 21. She had been a pump user for about 6 months. In the last two years, she has had to be hospitalized on 4 occasions due to unexplained rises in her blood glucose, to over 500. Is there any possible explanation (without being able to examine her) that can be given for such events?

My 9 year old daughter has had Type 1 for almost a year. It seems to me that the carbohydrates in milk and yogurt have much less of an effect on blood glucose than the carbs in fruit and starches. Any suggestions about how to count them?

My 5 year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes only about a month ago. He is now in the honeymoon and only receives 5 units of NPH in the morning. Even though he gets no insulin after 9:00�A.M., he still wakes up often with a blood sugar below 50. Why is he waking up so low?

What do you make of the latest reports about the association between type 1 diabetes and Hib vaccine?

I am a second year college student and am living off campus for the first time. This means that I have to go shopping for myself and cook too. I was wondering if you could tell me a meal plan that would be cost efficient and healthy?
