I have had type 1 diabetes for a little over a year, and I have a unusual body odor that occurs when I sweat. It is all over my body. It smells like a boiled egg and is worse the harder I sweat. Do have any suggestions as to what this could possibly be?

A friend in Brazil he heard about a new type of insulin that is supposed to be better than the traditional one. However, Brazilian doctors are still conservative about it, and the Brazilian association has not approved it. She also heard that here in the US, this type of insulin is much more accepted and has been used for a long time. Do you know something about this?

We just received the GlucoWatch for our four year old son but it itches him and when he scratches, he dislodges the sensors so the watch turns off. We tried over-the-counter lidocaine but even though we washed the lidocaine off, it didn’t pick up enough of a signal to register so it stopped. Do you have any suggestions to stop the itching so the GlucoWatch would have a better chance to work?

Diabetes during pregnancy can be dangerous for the mother and also for the developing fetus. Whether or not you had diabetes during your pregnancy isn’t clear from what you wrote. You would have to talk to your obstetrician to answer such a question. I would guess that your child’s brain and nervous system/muscle problems are probably not related to diabetes.

It’s now been a year since I last had to inject insulin, and for the past week, my diabetes has really gone out of control. My life revolves around food, and even though I know I should, I can’t stop eating. I want to know if this is a common problem and if there’s anything I can do about it.
