It has now been four days since my daughter had a vomiting episode and not needed insulin at meals. She is feeling fine, her appetite is back and her mood is great. What could be the cause for this? Is it possible that she is entering the honeymoon period after three months? If it is just due to the illness, why is it lasting so long?

Every time I take my insulin, I experience swelling in my face, legs, and feet (especially), but really all over. It’s just very frustrating to take something I ‘need’, and it does this to me. Have you ever heard of insulin causing swelling and/or water retention?

My son, who lifts weights in the afternoon has severe lows until about 8:00 or 9:00 pm and is high at midnight. This happens even though we changed his basal rate, he eats a sandwich beforehand, and his pump is off while he works out. I know he’s having rebound highs, but what else can we do?

My son was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes about 16 months ago, has been having symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome for almost a year now, and his sugars are out of control. I’ve been very happy with his endocrinologist, but he can’t seem to help me figure out what’s going on, and my son seems to be sick all the time.

I have read several responses by your “Ask the Expert” team about the relationship between bipolar disorder and diabetes, and it seems the team is discouraging the idea, yet there isresearch occurring. Why would it be hard to see a relationship between manic-depression and diabetes?

I would talk to my son’s current endocrinologist, but none of his support staff will give him a message. They are severely understaffed and they guard him like Fort Knox. What should the parents of a child with diabetes do when what is best for their child’s total care doesn’t fit into the practitioner’s plan?

My son, who is on an insulin pump, is a caddy and tends to get terrible leg cramps after a round of golf when it is warm, but his brother (who does not have diabetes) is also a caddy and does not have this problem. Does diabetes makes him more prone to the electrolyte imbalances which cause these cramps?
