In the past, I have given my son regular children’s over-the-counter cold and cough medicines, but we have been struggling with a new insulin pump start, and I am hesitant to use anything that may raise his blood sugar.

I want to know what to say to my four year old daughter who was diagnosed just over six months ago when she cries, tells me she’s sick of her diabetes, and asks if she going to have it forever. This doesn’t happen too often, thank God, and I usually get around by saying how lucky she is in lots of other ways.

My daughter has had three episodes in the early morning. Could this be related to sugar some way? If so, what tests are necessary? Does this type of thing always show up in blood work?

At least five out of every 10 people I talk to know a child with type 1 diabetes. Why are all of these kids getting this? Is this vaccine related? My daughter was one of the first to get the chicken pox vaccine which I later found out was taken off the market and replaced. I think someone needs to do a study to find out the true numbers of children getting this. This is more than average. Something is going on here.

My six year old daughter was vaguely diagnosed with early diabetes, and now I am told she had reactive hypoglycemia and does not have diabetes. How can this be? Surely high blood sugars are not normal. Are there other tests I can request? Would a second opinion be justified?

I work part time, don’t make enough to buy test strips, and I don’t have this under control by any means, but I can’t find any help. I am considering suicide to end the fight, and everyone would be better off. My doctor said I am not depressed and I am just unhappy. Well, sorry to disappoint you doc, but this really sucks when I can’t make enough money to stay alive.
