Q. Diabetes runs in my husbands side of the family, and he was diagnosed at 11 withtype 1 diabetes. We have a 6 month old baby girl and im just curious as to how early type 1 diabetes can be detected or how early it can occur. I Would appriciate any info on the type of tests that are run to diagnose this in an infant or young child.Thanks!
A. You or your doctor can press a glucose stick into a very wet diaper.
Any sugar would show up.
Babies are checked at birth.
You should let your doctor know your concerns in advance and he can do regular tests .
Good luck.

What can I do to help my best friend who has diabetes?
Q. He is 13 and has type 1 diabetes. We are really close and he is always talking about it (how it sucks to have it). I really want to help him because he seems so helpless. I need info. Ex. What do i do if he needs help like if he does not have his insulator?
A. Treating and managing diabetes is difficult enough without the added pain of pinprick blood monitoring and painful insulin injections. The number of times a diabetic has to test blood sugar levels and administer insulin depends on their individual diabetic situation. Although diabetes cures and permanent treatments are on the horizon, for the moment accurate and diligent prevention strategies are the key to managing diabetes successfully. Two areas in particular cause diabetics pain � administering insulin and monitoring the blood.

How do you get on the list for a pancreatic transplant?
Q. My husband is 37 years old today and has had type 1 diabetes since he was 19. He cannot control his glucose levels very well and his health is deteriorating. We have 3 children and I would love for him to try something that might prolong his life. I heard they have had great success with these transplants. I need more info.
A. I have been on the "list" for over 5 years now for both a kidney & a pancrease.
There are a lot of listed things that need to be done first. The first is compliant with his treatment plan. They look at this very seriously. the other is weight you have to be under 165 for a thansplant. They will help you get to these points.
My glucose levels run up and down for very little reasons so that is not really a factor BUT the damage it is causeing will, like heart damage, blindness, liver failure and on & on.
In California I am registered with the SFSU you can contact them for more information if you are from California, if not google your state + pancrease transplant it will show some thing to what you are looking for. Other wise you can ask your Doctors office for information and they will make an appointment to see if you quilify.
Good Luck, and no matter what others say this site is a good starting point for information, you did good... its a good question too!.
