Diabetes

My grandson is 9 and has diabetes. he is not active. This year is the first year that he can run and run. He wants to play football but he is so small. Do you have suggestions for daily activities, camps, or anything that will help him to grow and have fun?

Okay. My friend says I should go get tested for diabetes, because I experience 2 of the symptoms...Thirsty and headaches all the time. But I'm only really thirsty when it's hot and I've been out side for a while. And I do get headaches a lot, but there is always a reason for them (too much noise, etc.)...Do you guys think I should get tested just in case? Or do you think I'm okay for now?

If my wife's blood sugar spikes extremely high or falls extremely low, I understand that this is an extremely serious condition requiring immediate action. What are the symptoms of very high / very low blood sugar? How will I know if she is in danger? And what do I do?

Just because of frequent urination, does that automatically lead to diabetes? if all the gradnparents in the family have diabetes, does that increase the risk?

When people see me check my blood sugar the first thing they ask is, "Does that hurt?". The second thing they ask is, "Do you have to take shots, and do they hurt?" I understand people are curious, but sometimes is can get to be a little annoying. Or they try to tell you what you're doing wrong, such as "don't prick yourself on the finger, my mom always checks her arm". (Someone actually said that to me.) Does anyone else have stories about this kind of thing?

I've been getting less than 4 hours of sleep the last 5 days since I'm in the middle of relocating into another apartment in L.A., and you can imagine the kind of stress that is, and somehow I find it hard to go without food or "Carbs" for more than 3 hours and I get dizzy and shaky a lot faster. Can lack of sleep effect blood glucose levels?
