Diagnosed with type 2 two years ago, my doctor now suspects I have LADA. Should I consider adding another medication to my metformin? Should I consider taking insulin?

I have type 2, am very distressed and discouraged. I am a burden to my parents. Here in India, I can’t get married when I become of age because of my diabetes. How can I manage my life with diabetes?

Since yesterday, my toddler has been under 150 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L] despite no short acting insulin. She does not appear to be ill. What else could cause such lows?

Recently, my daughter is having lows, in the afternoon and at night. Her TDD is 14 units, down from 20 to 22. Why is she requiring less insulin now? Could she still be producing insulin after five years?

My daughter, who had a pancreas transplant in 2007, is currently hospitalized with retinopathy. Her eyes were fine after the transplant, but are deteriorating. What do you suggest she do? She’s already been seen by doctors at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins.

Last weekend, when sick with the flu, my younger daughter had blood sugars over 300 mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L]. The pediatrician said they were related to the flu, but since she’s already tested positive for two of the antibodies I am worried. What do you think?

My son is having lows while in his honeymoon and not taking insulin. Should he have some additional testing? Our endocrinologist doesn’t think antibody testing would be that helpful.

My new doctor switched me from Humalog to NovoLog, but I am now having consistent highs. Why is this happening? Should I find another doctor to put me back on Humalog?

The school doesn’t want my son checking his blood sugar in the classroom but, with the outbreak of flu, I am concerned about all the viruses now in her office. What do you suggest we do?

Diagnosed a year ago, my granddaughter does not see an endocrinologist because her parents have no health insurance. Since recent seizures, her blood sugars are on a roller coaster. Should I be concerned?
