My 11 year old daughter has been complaining about a lot of things, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her and say it is probably growing pains. My mother and grandmother both had/has diabetes. Is this something I should call the doctors about and see about having them run tests on her to rule this out?

Since beginning a regimen of Lantus and NovoLog three months ago, I have had some high morning readings, and my glucose levels have been up and down ever since going on these two insulin. My A1c has consistently been between 6.5-7% for many years, but these ups and downs make me feel badly. If I have had nothing to eat since dinner the night before, what’s causing the high reading?

Up to the time my wife had the flu and bad cough, her blood sugars were running at an average of approximately normal, but this accompanied by a blood sugar that’s high, and this has remained the case for the past two weeks, even though the illness has cleared up. When can we expect these blood sugars to lower?
