I have diabetes, suffer from boils from time to time, and I read that boils are sometimes related to diabetes. My two year old daughter gets boils, and sometimes just as one is healing another one appears. Can this be a symptom of diabetes or something else?

I’m 17 years old, I can’t control my blood sugar, and I’m so scared. My doctor tells me I have to do something, and my mom threatens me with stuff like “You’re going to die at the age of 20.” Everyone keeps telling me about how this person or that person died of diabetes and how I will too. My blood sugars are always high, but I don’t want to take my insulin.

I have type 1 diabetes, I am currently breast feeding my three month old son, and my blood sugar is generally good, but sometimes it gets higher. Is this excess sugar in my breast milk?

Where can I get financial support for a doctor, insulin, and other diabetes supplies? If I get insurance from work, it won’t cover my diabetes for up to a year since it is a pre-existing condition, and I am not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid because I’m not a mother or elderly.

Is there a test to track low blood sugar over time? Do you think that a pattern of mood changes might mean my daughter has hypoglycemia? Should I insist that my doctor, who I generally think is pretty good, refer us to a pediatric endocrinologist?

I was told that hypoglycemia will some day turn into diabetes. Is this true? If my hypoglycemia turns into diabetes will it be type 1 or type 2?

I am 20 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes this week. I had it with my last pregnancy but it was easily managed by diet, I kept track of my own blood sugar levels at home. However, I am being seen by a different OB/GYN practice this time, and they are handling the whole thing very differently. I am supposed to come in weekly for blood testing, no tests at home.

My sister-in-law, who has type 2 diabetes, is in a small village a long way from here. She takes medicine but doesn’t combine that with a proper regimen of exercise and diet. As a result, her readings when taken irregularly, are usually fairly high. I have several questions.

At her most recent appointment, my seven year old daughter’s dentist stated that he suspects she’ll need orthodontic care in the future. Do children with type 1 diabetes have more problems with orthodontic manipulation than children without diabetes?
