Up until week 30 of pregnancy, I able to control my sugars with diet and exercise, but since then, I have been having trouble. I am still sticking to diet, exercising, and I have recently started taking Zoloft at night.Could the Zoloft affect my sugar readings? Is it harder it is to control the sugar the later I get in my pregnancy?

For about a year, my 15 year old son has constantly been complaining of stomachaches. He has already had an upper GI to check for ulcers, but that test was good., and his gastric emptying test was just barely within the normal limits. Will this get worse over time? Does this have to do with the nerves being affected by his sugar?

I take have started using disposable insulin pens and travel frequently for work (sometimes for weeks at a time). Do you know if the prescription laws for pen needles are the same as for syringes? I know the laws vary by State for syringes, but is there a formal “listing” so I could know before I travel.

I have an eight year old student who, despite his family’s best efforts, has many highs and lows. The snacks he is told to eat are always carbs, like pretzels, crackers, vanilla wafers, etc. Even though he eats an appropriate amount, I am wondering if the addition of a little cheese or peanut butter or eating more complex carbs would help even him out.

My urine definitely had sort of a neon greenish color that lasted a couple of days. A day after the green urine, I had what felt like a slow, strong muscle twitch just below my right rib cage. I’ve never experienced that feeling before or noticed greenish urine before. Is this related to the diabetes? If so, what is the significance?

How important are postprandial sugars if the A1c is in the acceptable close to 6%? If two people with diabetes were to have the same A1c, but one had vastly varying sugars while the other one had stable sugars, is there an increased risk for the first (i.e., cardiovascular or other risks) excluding hypoglycemia?

Using EMLA or ELA-max cream really works and takes away my three year old daughter’s anxiety and pain when changing her Insuflon, but the package insert warnings scare me. Do you have any information on the safety of using EMLA or ELA-max cream every four days in a three year old? Is it worth the risk?

My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about three months ago, and I just found out that this insulin (NovoLog) which the doctors put him on immediately has not been FDA approved for use with children! I am extremely upset that I was never told this important fact.
