Hyperglycemia and DKA

1. After five years on metformin I am having post-prandial spikes over 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L]. Is there another medication I could take? (5 Mar 2010)
2. My 12-year-old son has been physically damaging our home when being disciplined. His blood sugar was very high during one recent incident. Could the high have caused his rage? (4 Mar 2010)
3. When I was hemorrhaging after surgery, my blood sugar was 425 mg/dl [23.6 mmol/L]. Could this mean I will have diabetes in the future? (23 Feb 2010)
4. I checked my toddler's blood sugar and it was 322 mg/dl [17.9 mmol/L]. He'd been cranky and not eating. Might this be diabetes? Should I check him more and take the results to the doctor? (22 Feb 2010)

13. Since January, my daughter has had elevated blood sugars that have come down on their own. I want to stop checking her, but the doctor disagrees. What is your opinion? (28 Dec 2009)
