I have a friend in Honduras who is an orphan living with relatives. In the last 30 days she moved four times and did not inject. Now she is with a brother who is trying to help. She has been testing once a day, and she has finally gotten down in the 300-400 mg/dl [16.7-22.2 mmol/L] range. Please explain what happens when one does not inject and what her prognosis is.

I am very concerned about my 14 year old brother-in-law, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about two years ago and cannot accept the fact. He does not want to listen or care about his health. Is there a place where he can be institutionalized anywhere in our area in order for him to receive help?

Since my hemoglobin A1cs are consistently normal, and my weight is good, my doctor thinks I am doing great and is not concerned about insulin resistance, but I am. How can it be established if I need a medication which works on the pancreas or a medication which helps my cells to become more sensitive to insulin?

Last week I took my 10 year old daughter to the doctor because she has been having periods where she gets shaky, and she seems to always be thirsty. The doctor said that since my daughter is so thin, the carbs boost her sugar level, then when it falls, it bottoms out, and fast. Is there a chance she could develop diabetes?

For the last three years I have experienced sudden physical attacks from my daughter. After checking her blood testing book, which her new doctor requires her to do I have found that she had a high blood sugar each night that we have had an upsetting incident. Can a high blood sugar cause this type of behavior which is totally out of character for a person?
