I was as diagnosed with diabetes about a year ago and is currently treated with diet, exercise, and Glucovance, but my blood glucose is poor, I’m losing weight, and I’m feeling crappy. My doctor’s response to this is, “So what, that’s diabetes”. I would like to be tested for LADA, but my doctor hasn’t heard of it and does not do the test. Is there a test I should ask for specifically?

Every night after work, my wife’s feet give her problems. She complains that they are very hot and she cannot sleep. During the night at times I am awoken by her sobs, and you can tell she is in great pain. The doctor gave her some tablets, but they don’t seem to work. Can you tell me what’s wrong with her feet? Can this be resolved?

Unless we wake my six year old son up two or three times a night to urinate, he will wet the bed, and he has had a continuous problem with ringworm. I understand that skin problems are common in people with diabetes. Should I be concerned?
