It has been recommended that my son consider the pump, but he does not want to have anything to do with it. Our family is so controlled by this disease and right now that it is having a negative affect on everyone. My thought is that we make him go on the pump because we’ve exhausted our other options. Is it wrong to force this issue?

This is my seventh pregnancy, the first two of which two ended in first trimester miscarriages. During subsequent pregnancies, I did the GTT between 27-29 weeks and failed several of them. All the resulting babies weighed over nine pounds and were born 4 to 12 days early. Could I be developing diabetes after the 30th week of pregnancy?

I think my brother does try to keep his sugar as close to normal as possible with the hope of avoiding complications. I feel annoyed when other relatives comment on how he must be doing something wrong when his sugars go low.

Sporadically, my heel gets a numb, tingly feeling that usually goes away after a short amount of time, and my blood glucose is usually normal when it happens. I’m not on a foot care program. Should I be? What could cause it? Should I elevate my foot?

We will be testing her daily for a few weeks to see if her blood sugar goes back to normal after stopping the steroids. I have several questions.

I was told that while blood testing is available to determine the risk of developing type 1 diabetes, it could very well yield false results. or false negatives. Moreover, even if the results were accurate, a recent clinical trial showed that nothing can be done to prevent the development of full-blown diabetes in siblings. If we did go forward with it, what, in your opinion, would be the benefit of doing so?

I have read different publications and the questions you have already answered regarding low carbohydrate diets, but I am still confused. I have type 1 diabetes, I follow a low carbohydrate diet on and off, and whenever I follow it, my whole life is better. I run perfect blood sugars, I have more energy, I eat less, and I just feel better in a million ways.

I have had diabetes for 33 years, have been on the pump for 25 years, and I’ve been getting a lot of higher-than-expected readings in the revolting heat of this week. Although I accept that bodies change in their responses over time, I’m just wondering what is going on.
