I have begun to follow a teenage African-American girl who has a rash which the family believes is an insulin reaction. While I cannot exclude that, my previous experience with folks “allergic” to insulin was that the “rash” was predominantly at injection sites! How wrong am I? What specific measures can I do to prove or disprove and then manage this?

We have been checking my 18 month old a few times a day, and she has ranged anywhere from low to high. Her doctor keeps telling us that as long as it doesn’t stay high or low, she is fine. Should I be concerned? Her doctor seems to be blowing me off. Should we get a second opinion? Should I ask to be referred to a pediatric endocrinologist?

My 31 year old husband has had type 1 diabetes since the age of about 12, and our three year old son may be showing signs of it. His doctor has not run any tests for this and tells me not to worry, but I worry every day. I see things in him that are so much like his father’s symptoms. Should I take him in or am I being overly concerned because of my husband?

Currently, my son is unable to test himself in the classroom because administration considers the lancet to be a weapon. My feelings are that if the lancet is a weapon, so are thumbtacks and scissors. Your thoughts are appreciated.
