Complications

1. After 54 years with diabetes, I am in good control. Lately, I have "pins and needles" in my hands and feet. Are these sensations related to diabetes? (4 Sep 2012)
2. For about six years, my son has always been antibody negative. Could we use his brother's cord blood to reverse his diabetes? Should the doctor pursue testing for MODY or such? (8 May 2012)
3. I have had type 1 diabetes since 1958 and have proliferative retinopathy but no kidney damage. Is it rare to have eye problems but no kidney issues? (23 Mar 2012)
4. My teen daughter has been diagnosed with microalbuminuria, but she has good metabolic control. Does she need an ACE inhibitor? What are its side effects? (10 Feb 2011)
5. My daughter has had diabetes for 10 years. Since several of my family members are/have had complications, might there be some genetic component that my daughter will suffer them as well? (1 Feb 2011)
6. I have heard that blood sugar fluctuations can cause long term damage. What is the latest research on this? Are blood swings just as detrimental as high A1cs? (8 Dec 2010)
7. My eight-year-old daughter's last urine test showed protein. Can the protein be there because my daughter was not fasting? If further tests show protein, what's next? (6 Nov 2010)
8. My teen daughter has been taking lisinopril for kidney damage. Despite working hard to control her diabetes, recent tests were still elevated. Why is this? (20 Oct 2010)
9. I was diagnosed with neuropathy, presumably connected to my diabetes. If I continue to improve the control of my diabetes, might I reverse or slow its progression? (11 Aug 2010)
10. I have a large varicose vein on my pelvic bone. My doctor said this is probably a complication of my type 1 diabetes. Is this possible? (10 Aug 2010)
11. I started an ACE inhibitor due to high albumin. My albumin is now fine, but my creatinine was low. What does this mean? Am I doing ok, as my doctor has indicated? (27 Jul 2010)
12. Diagnosed with gastroparesis, my daughter has been placed on a feeding tube. She is still having difficulties. Is there a more effective way of treating this? (5 May 2010)
13. The cardiologist thinks my son's microalbuminuria might be sports related, while the nephrologist disagrees. How do we determine its cause? (12 Feb 2010)
14. Can long term use of metformin cause kidney damage? If so, will the damage reverse itself after stopping metformin? (6 Jan 2010)
15. I've had diabetes for 10 years. Twice, I have had abnormal spot urine tests, but a normal 24-hour test. The doctor wants me on an ACE inhibitor. Can diet affect the deterioration of the kidneys? (5 Jan 2010)
16. My son's albumin level was elevated so he was put on blood pressure medication, even though his blood pressure is fine. What does this mean? (18 Dec 2009)
17. My son was put on an ACE inhibitor three years ago for microalbuminuria. A year ago, he was diagnosed with postural proteinuria. Will he need to take the ACE inhibitor forever? (2 Dec 2009)
18. My daughter, who had a pancreas transplant in 2007, is hospitalized with retinopathy. Her eyes were fine in 2007, but are deteriorating. What do you suggest she do? (12 Nov 2009)
19. Six weeks ago, my teen daughter developed sudden hearing loss in her right ear. Three ENT specialists said it's a possible complication of diabetes. Have you ever heard of this? (2 Nov 2009)
20. I am on pain medications for an ulcer on my foot. I was told to endure the pain or have my leg amputated. How can I prolong the life of my leg, my life? (16 Sep 2009)
