I am familiar with the appropriate precautions related to the alcohol content of drinks such as Kahlua and the effects on blood sugar, but I can’t determine how much sugar they contain, except that it seems to be a lot based on what it does to my blood sugar! I would like to know the carb content for a variety of after dinner liqueurs.

Even though I have not in the past had evidence of complications, I am becoming very concerned about developing them, especially because I started a new, and increasingly stressful, job. How much have I increased my risk for complications this year? Can I still recover from it, even if I have to work harder at it? If so, what must I do differently?

My 15 year old daughter was issued a learner’s permit, but the school nurse says she cannot have it until she has her doctor fill out a form for the state. I believe this to be a form of discrimination. Am I right to fight this issue? Do I stand on good ground?

I have been using a sharps disposal unit, and I know these are not to be opened. However, since the company I originally got this from discontinued it, I have been opening it, emptying the contents into a plastic pop bottle and then disposing of the pop bottle. Do you know where I might be able to get one of these?

About four years ago I had a glucose intolerance test done, and my doctor said that I had “cheated” on the “test” because my levels did not move at all the entire time. Should I have a GTT again?

My five year old son has ketotic hypoglycemia, and while he is not having episodes as often as he used to, he still has problems with low blood sugar and running large and extra large ketones when he gets sick. Can a child with ketotic hypoglycemia get sick from ketones? At what point do I need to get him into the doctor? Can there be possible damage to his liver?

Everyone in my family, except me, has/had diabetes, and my second child weighed 10 pounds. Blood sugars at home and in the doctor’s office testing, occasionally showed very high levels, but lab testing always was consistently low. A new neurologist suggests that I may have had diabetes for up to 30 years. Is it possible that diabetic neuropathy has caused this?
