My well controlled (A1c: 6.5 or less) daughter was found to have protein in her urine just six months after diagnosis of type I diabetes, we continue to monitor it, and the amount never changes.

My son wants an electric blanket, and the disclaimer says it is not for people with diabetes. Because it says that we have not purchased one for him, and we as a family will not use one either if he cannot. Is this for older people or for all people with diabetes? What is the reason for this?

My five year old son, diagnosed with type 1diabetes three weeks ago, is on insulin shots three times a day, but he refuses them. He hides in closets, and I have found him hiding in the fifth floor of my apartment building. I speak to and negotiate with him, but I am devastated. I would highly appreciate any advice to make this easier on both of us.

I am about 26 weeks pregnant with my third child, and I showing ketones (moderate to large) in my morning urine.. Since my blood sugars were in such good control, we determined the ketones were due to starvation ketosis and solved the problem by my eating a small snack in the middle of the night. If the ketones are due to starvation ketosis, how dangerous is this?

My seven month old niece was diagnosed with diabetes and was in critical condition for weeks at a reputable teaching hospital. Much difficulty is being encountered in regulating insulin and all that goes along with this disease. Is there a hospital/diabetes team that specializes in this at the very youngest ages?
