My grandson has type 1 diabetes, and no genetic links have been found. Has an association been found with the current polio vaccinations used in the UK and type 1 diabetes in children? Can anyone enlighten me on the use of Calpol and Disprol including the effects of this medication on organs such as the pancreas in children under the age of one? Could this have caused or contributed to the onset of type 1 diabetes?

I have developed two spots on my feet that get very itchy, and the skin keeps on peeling. I also have got this itch on my foreskin which is developing into red spots on my penis, and the itch is getting worse. The local doctor says this is due to my sugar level, and I have a urine infection. Is this true? What should I do?

My son had a DNA test which showed he has the Wolfram gene but only in one gene not both, and the doctor asked about his behaviour problems and eyesight (which are both bad, and he is going for a hearing test next month) didn’t seem worried. However, after reading about DIDMOAD, I am a bit concerned. Can you enlighten me more?

I started the Atkin’s diet a month ago, and stopped the medication two weeks later after a good drop in my blood sugar in cooperation with my physician. Even though my breakfast is the lightest meal, the morning test yields the highest reading. Is there a logical explanation?
