I have been having terrible headaches that started in the back of my head to start and now are throughout my whole head. I am getting worried, but I don’t know who else to ask for help since my doctor is not helping me. Is there anything related to the diabetes that could cause this terrible headaches?

Any ideas on how to stop the roller coaster numbers? The up and down numbers make me feel buzzed and tired after meals, and if supper is late, I will go low which doesn’t feel great either. Since my team has few LADA patients, they are not sure have to handle my care. Their plan for now is to wait and see what happens. Any suggestions?

My dad ended up in the hospital severely dehydrated. The doctor is giving him a sliding scale of insulin, and no one is saying why his sugar goes so high and then so low. Do any sugar related problems go along with dehydration or old age? Can you shed any light on this situation?

I am just 31 years old, and I have had type 1 diabetes for 21 years. I take care of myself physically, am very active and generally healthy, and I am kind of scared to see these painful sores developing all over me. Are they something that I will, in fact, have to endure for the rest of my life?

My almost eight year old son has been a bed wetter and daytime wetter since potty training, but multiple tests on his bladder/kidneys have shown no problems. He has had two blood sugar done both of which were low. and the doctor says that this is how type 1 diabetes sometimes begins (extremely low levels before the levels sky-rocket).

During a trip, my friend and training partner noticed his feet swollen during his stay. The condition has become worse and he has been off work for five months. As far as i know he has had all tests that can be given and he has been given steroid injections all to no avail. It is constantly painful, and he cannot even do gentle swimming. Can anyone please give any further advice?

At my son’s routine pediatrician checkup, the doctor commented that his urinalysis showed a lot of sugar, but no ketones. Is it normal for a child with diabetes (who is taking insulin and having “good” numbers) to still show sugar in the urine?

My niece’s blood glucose readings are still bouncing all over, and my sister is having great difficulty in figuring out what factors are affecting them. I am a statistician and have decided to collect data on variables that may affect her blood sugar. Do you know of anyone who has done such research?
