My sister, who has had diabetes for about 15 years, has never really had it under control (under 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L] is good for her). She is inconsistent with a time table on taking her insulin shots. Recently, she was admitted to the hospital with an extremely high blood sugar. What are the potential problems of her sugar level having been so high?

My three and a half year old daughter frequently wakes up at night practically incoherent and complaining of pain in her legs, and we saw an endocrinologist at the local children’s hospital who said that all the testing looked normal.
