I have had type 1 diabetes for 23 years. The published literature I have read states that ideal blood glucose levels should be between 80 and 120. Why do I feel the symptoms of low blood sugar at 80 to 90 when this is the normal range for a non-diabetic?

y 13-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a hemangioma. It looks like a wart, and about the size of a pencil eraser. It’s just above her left armpit on her shoulder. What would cause this to happen? Is there anything we should be concerned with? Should it be removed — or will it go away on its own?

My six-month-old daughter started to have seizures. She had 3 on Thursday, 20-30 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and none since then. All she does is stop, roll her eyes to the back of her head and then cry. We are waiting on the results of an EEG. But can you give us more information on what could be happening and why?
