Childhood Obesity—A Growing Problem
I keep reading that obesity is on the rise, and that more children are getting type 2 diabetes. Why is this happening?

My daughter is 12 and has type 1 diabetes. It seems that every time the wind blows she is sick again. She drinks tons of water and occasionally cheats but always takes her insulin. What could be causing her to constantly get sick with vomiting and ketones?

Is the school nurse the only person who can administer Glucagon in the school?

My 10-year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes this past summer. I plan to discuss his condition with his teacher - can you give me some guidance how to do this?

How do I get my 15 yr. old son to realize how serious diabetes is? He has very poor control and runs high all the time. He is supposed to test his sugar 8 times a day, but we are lucky if he does it 2 times a day. He is 15, and it is hard to be with him all the time to give him shots and make sure he tests his blood sugar. Please help me with this, as it is a real problem for our family.
