My son was diagnosed with type I automimmune DM in June 2005. Since being started on insulin he has gained 70 lbs. He routinely has hypoglycemic reactions at blood sugars in what would be considered a normal range. He was incoherent during a recent episode when his glucometer read 69. A recent lab fasting blood sugar was 191 and HBA1C was 6.8. He is literally afraid to exercise due to these reactions and I think is overeating due to this fear. Are there people who need to run higher?

I am 30 weeks along and a week ago we found out that I tested positive for gestational diabetes and was told to monitor my glucous levels 4 times a day (fasting and 1 hour after each meal). I have been doing this for 6 days and my readings have been in the target range except for my fasting. They have been in the range of 88 - 103 (lowest to highest).

Hi, I am looking for help for my teenage Son. He was diagonosed with Type1 about 6 months ago. He was UNDER weight to start with and lost weight before his diagnosis. Once He began Insulin He did gain back the weight He had lost when He was sick but is still underweight even at his pre-diabetic weight. What can you recommend for him to gain some weight at the same time as controlling his carbs and managing his diabetes. We need all the tips we can get! Thank you.
I have been a type 1 diabetic for the last 37 years and am well controlled (hbh1c tests below 7). Although my weight is generally stable, over the last year or so I have put on 5lbs which I just cannot get rid of. I am very active, walking, running and weight training, 3 to 5 times a week. Every time I start a "diet" (by trying to cut down on food intake), I have hypoglycemic reactions which thwart my efforts at eating less. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have type 1 diabetes and just had a baby 6 months ago. I'm trying to take weight off. I weight 144 and am only 5'2. I exercise 5 times a week and eat very well. I am having a hard time with lows and that adds a few extra calories. I have reduced my insulin to correct the lows. My blood sugars also run high at least once a day. Why can't I lose weight? Do my crazy blood sugars have anything to do with not losing weight??
My question is about my period and menstrual cycle. I was diagnosed on 4/25/06 with type one diabetes, and have yet to get my period for this month.

I've had type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes almost a year now. My glucose levels are under control and my A1C is a 5.1. Recently, I've been waking up with terribly bad breath.

I've had type I diabetes for 13 years, am now 23, and starting to wonder about if I would be able to have children.

I am a 35-year type I diabetic. My bood sugar levels were finally getting under control, but I have gained a lot of weight. I work out about 45 minutes, 3 times a week with no weight loss.

The Gynac is scaring my wife to the core; the Gynac says that she has to be very, very careful after 7 months, failing to which there would be risk for both the mother and the Infant.

I saw today that diabetes shortens life expectancy by 15 years to the risk of cardiac disease. I have type I and had a triple bypass 4 years ago at the age of 36. Does this mean my future will be shorter. If I don't take better care of myself, how long should I live?

My daughter will be 2 years old in August '06. Lately she has significantly increased her fluid intake and sleeps a lot longer than usual. I developed gestational diabetes while pregnant with her. I watched my diet and was never put on medication to control my sugar level. My daughter was a fairly small baby (5lbs. 10oz) and born at 36 weeks.

On dLife's July 2nd show Dr. Bernstein stated T1 diabetics should strive to have A1c's in the 4.5 range. I do not understand how this is possible unless a persons blood glucose is always in the 70's.

His pediatrician is out of town today. What do you advise?
