I have discovered that when I mix my son’s morning or nighttime Humalog with the NPH he seems to have higher sugar readings between meals and sometimes at the next meal. He seems to do consistently better when I use separate shots. I have mentioned this to my endocrinologist, but was told it shouldn’t make any difference.

I did not nurse my son, and he developed type 1 diabetes at the age of two and one-half. He has a baby sister I am nursing her for a year and to whom I am not giving any milk products. I am wondering what to do after the first year. Could I give soy milk instead of cow’s milk? Does it make a difference after the age of one?

I am grateful for your “P-Balls” recipe to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia. It is helping, and I would like to recommend it to friends who are allergic to nuts. What else do you recommend they use instead of peanut butter?

Is it true that insulin cannot be shaken or it will lose its potency? Not that I make a general practice of shaking it, but it does move around if it’s in a bag or that sort of thing.

I have recently met with my daughters’ pediatrician, we inquired about the insulin pump,and she said because my daughter isn’t in control that she wouldn’t even consider her for it. When I requested that she see an endocrinologist, the doctor said we still needed to get her in better control first. Wouldn’t the specialist be more up to date and helpful?

Since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes less than a year ago, my husband has lost interest in having sex. He is not impotent, but he is just not as interested, and his interest in becoming less and less. I don’t know if this lack of interest is because of his diabetes or if it is in his mind.

My 71 year old husband, who has diabetes, is currently undergoing radiation treatment for prostrate cancer and his blood sugars have been running high. Today he had a urine test done and he has a bladder infection and will be taking medicine. Could this be from the high blood sugar?

My child’s school is dragging its feet on several important points in his 504 plan as we now enter the tenth week of school. (The usual pattern is silence for several weeks, then to present us with a plan that has unauthorized changes.) Is there a set negotiation time frame for 504 plans?
