There is a plan set up, and more training is on the way. Mistakes and bad decisions are made, so unpredictable things go wrong, and now I want a nurse in the school.

I have asked the manufacturer twice if other people are experiencing these same problems with this new pump model, but they contend that they have heard no complaints.

I have a student with type 1 diabetes, and all of this current year his blood sugar has been running very high. I think it is a crime for a child today, who can take advantage of all of our modern technology and new insulins, to be facing problems basically from lack of concern by family. Is it some form of abuse or neglect to not provide adequate care for a child with diabetes?

About a year ago, at the age of 63, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, but during my last appointment, my doctor said he thought I might actually have type 1.5 or MODY. What are your comments on my case? What type of diabetes do I have?

My 51 year old sister just called me and said saying the doctors think she has diabetes because today she had an elevated blood sugar. What kind of diabetes could she have? Isn’t she too old for type 1? Aren’t the symptoms more intense than type 2? Could it possibly be something else, like a tumor?

The teacher noticed that my friend’s four year old daughter had frequent urination and she had a high blood sugar as checked by the school nurse. However, her blood sugar and A1c were normal at the doctor’s. I do not want to alarm my friend or cause her undue stress, but I am concerned that this doctor isn’t very well versed in type 1 diabetes. Where should she turn next?
