I experienced a once in a lifetime disturbing sleepwalking incident. They chalked it up to stress over my dad and hypoglycemia, but I heard of a case recently where an adult with diabetes had a similar incident that ended up in a violent episode and his suicide. It worries me to think about losing control like that and possibly hurting myself/someone else.

I feel that a lot of insulin is being wasted every time you change the sites because there is about 20 units of insulin left in the tubing when you change. n about 2 weeks time I’m throwing out over 100 units of insulin. I was wondering if it’s all right to inject the insulin from the tubing into a vial of insulin so I can use it later instead of throwing out good insulin?

My ex-wife is convinced that my son also suffers from a very mild case of ADD, and, although some of his teachers and his former pediatrician agree, I don’t. My concern is that his behavior at home may be a result of his environment rather than any psychiatric problem. Do you have any experience here? Can you refer me to an appropriate advisor?

My son has to have blood work every so often, but I can’t remember. what it is they check for and cannot get in touch with the doctor to ask. All I know is his rbcc didn’t come back well indicating that his average levels were too high. I want to look up info on what this means but can’t remember the technical words.

Our son, who was born with pulmonary stenosis, began to experience chest pains, and complained his heart was racing and skipping beats when his blood sugar dropped rapidly. The cardiologist believes that during the process of the insulin working on bringing down the sugar, the electrolytes may have been impacted which triggered the electrical misfirings. Just wonder what your thoughts are.
