ASKING AND LOOKING FOR INFORMATION AND WAYS OF CURING
AND MANAGING INSULIN – DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS
FOR OUR DAUGHTER
( December 25, 1995 )
Our daughter , less than eight year’s old, had abdominal pain often
with poor appetize and had become thin accordingly since august, 1995. In
november 17, 1995, she got keton ++++ caused by flu. From november 17 to
december 14, she had been in local hospital and Beijing Children Hospital
early and late for curing ill and was diagnosed as Insulin – Dependent
Diabetes Mellitus ( IDDM ). She is out of hospital now because the illness is
managed in stable temporarily. In home, she is injected of insulin with 8 unit
per day and limited of food with forbidden of snacks and sweet food. Now she
still feel abdominal pain often, especially when hungry, and her eyes appear
micro red blood line even under good and enough sleep condition. She had ever
got lymphnoditis in May, 1993 , which was doubted to be inffected by
streptococcus . After recovered, she feel pain around the knee sometimes.
Our daughter is still in her childhood, and is lovely and vivid. Were
such a future cruel life for her to face, what it would be tragic to her! We,
as child’s parents, feel very worried because we can not replace the child to
suffer the illness and to remove the illness from the child. We have enquired
the experts of internal secretion from all big hospital in Beijing, Guangzhou
and Shanghai in China. The answers are that there are no ways to cure the IDDM
or control the continual worsen of the ill. The child could only live on the
injection of insulin and limitation of regulated food for her life.
We here have to ask eagerly for help, assistant and curing ways from
Experts of IDDM from all over the World. Please help us to cure the illness of
our child!!! Now our child is still in Honey Moon State of Insulin Dependent
Diabetes Mellitus and her Insulin Islet still has certain function but is
being destroyed gradully. In China, we have no way to do for our daughter, but
we believe that in this world, there are experts in somewhere who could help
us to cure the illness of our daughter.
We call for help to you the experts who have ways to cure Children’s
IDDM when in acute or honey moon states. Please help our daughter, she is
still in her childhood and still has long ways to go. We with our child will
be deep appreciated to you for your help !
We call on the experts whose research is in the scope of IDDM to
transmit the advance curing ways to us to recover the healthy life to our
lovely daughter. All those who devote to curing our child will be the child’s
saviour and we are deep appreciated!
All those who know where there are the ways of curing or managing
Children’s Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus please inform us, please
transmit the information you know to us! We will be appreciated to what your
help!
ILL HISTORY OF THE CHILD
Brief Information before ill : The child, female , borne in March of 1988, is
weighted 26Kg ( about
32Kg before ill ) with 138cm
height .
Before she got ill, except easily got flu, she was in good health with
body weight and height grown in advance. The high comment was always given to
her when body checking in the kindergarden. But we, as her parent, think that
her body is sensitive to the climate. During the kindergarden, once the
climate change or epidemic disease spread, she always got ill. She had ever
got measles, varicella and lymphnoditis which all happened in 1993.
The information before acute ill : From august 7 to 23 of this year, she took
part in a preliminary swimming training course for 15 days. Due to the unusual
cooling summer of Northern China of this year and the cold underground water
in swimming pool which was not hot enough by heating of sun as well as
afternoon swimming time from 5pm to 6:30pm, she always got mouth purple and
abdominal pain when came back from swimming. Sometimes she insisted swimming
during the raining day. During the swimming training course, she got fever one
times and had rested for two days. After the swimming training course, she
always felt abdominal pain everyday and it had lasted for about fifteen days
without caused attention from us, because we thought that the abdominal pain
was caused by cold suffered intestines and stomach and would recover
gradually. Since that time, the child had eaten lesser and become thinner
apparently. By the october 1 of this year, the child had become a thin girl
from a little bit fat and strong girl. From october 1 to 4, we brought her to
tour Tai Mountain, Qufu, and Jinan City. In that time, she was still in good
health. To the rugged mountain path of 1,500 meter height mountain over sea
level, she climbed the mountain with us from the foot to the top of the
mountain when it was raining and in the evening. During these several day’s
tours, she was tired and tension like us. She with us came back home from
tour at october 5 and went to school the second day. About ten days after came
back from the tour, she suddenly drank water a lot and released urine a lot
accordingly every day, but ate not very much. In the early morning of november
11,1995, she suddenly got fever ( the cold she got two weeks ago with nasal
mucus and cough had recovered ). On the second day, she was sent to the
hospital and was injected. After injection, she recovered from fever. But
after recovered from fever, she got a symptom of vomit, nausea, abdominal pain
( especially when hungry ), forceless and poor appetite.
The acute sick : She got fever on november 11, and had injection of medicine
for reducing fever temperature and penicillin ( penicillin had continually
injected for five days ). On november 12, the body temperature of the child
had been lowered to 37C but the strong symptom of nausea, vomit, abdominal
pain, very forceless and poor appetite as well as sick eating food oil
appeared. In that time we doubt that the child might got liver disease.
Through the blood testing for liver function, the test result was normal
except the density of musk which was 8 unit ( the normal value is 0 – 6 unit
). When checking for the liver problem, the doctor also suggested the urine
test according to our description of that the child drank a lot of water. The
test result of urine was abnormal. Then the test of blood sugar in empty
stomach was token. The result was that blood sugar was 12.5mmol/L, CO2CP was
15.2mmol/L and BUN was 6.8mmol/L ( the result of november 16 ).
three days’ routine urine tests in empty stomach after acute ill are as follow
:
DATE OCCULT BLOOD NITRIC ACID PH VALUE UROBILINOGEN
BILIRUBIN
NOV 15 - - 6
1 –
NOV 16 - - 6
1 –
NOV 17 - - 5.5

DATE PROTEIN GLUCOSE KETONE MICROSCOPE CHECKING
NOV 15 ++ ++ ++ PARTICLE
TUBE 1-2
NOV 16 ++ +++
NO
NOV 16 + ++++

In november 17, her ill became serious and had to stay in the hospital. After
stayed in the hospital, the child had a intravenous drip of pure salt water
with insulin through vein and injection of insulin everyday before meal. One
day after intravenous drip, the keton of the child had dropped with blood
sugar of 8.6 mmol/L, carbon dioxide binding force 20.2. After that, the
quantity of injection of insulin was determined by the test result of urine
sugar and keton body of section urine ( the total urine between two meals )
made in 30 minutes before meal. Up to present, the doctor’s curing ways was to
increase or reduce the injection quantity of insulin according to the test
result of urine sugar and keton to manage the state of illness and tried to
find out a way that let the blood sugar and urine sugar in a reasonable value
with a reasonable injection quantity of insulin, and let the parent to follow
the way for the whole life of the child. At present, the ill state of child
was stable and the test value of the blood sugar and urine sugar were low. The
quantity of insulin injection was 6 unit per day ( At beginning of acute ill
had ever reached 30 unit ).
The situation after stayed in the hospital : After stayed in the hospital, she
had certain appetite, but still had the symptom of abdominal pain ( the
symptom was most apparent when in hungry ). The position of pain is just above
the navel. It seems to be the position of abdomen. But we think this is
related to the diabetes changes. Besides when sleep, she feel hot on hand and
feet, and like to stretch the hand and feet out of the cover.
Our child had ever stayed in local hospital and Beijing Children’s
Hospital for curing the illness from November 17 to December 14. Now she has
been out of hospital for one week. When in hospital, her illness was managed
in good state with insulin injection quantity of 5 unit per day. Now in home,

As a newbie Type II, I’m still in the voracious data-collection
mode.
If you know of mailing lists or other newsgroups focused upon
diabetes, please provide detailed access instructions.
I’ve already found the forums on AOL, and if other online services
have something significant to offer I will probably give them a try
also.
Thanks in advance,
Henry
The only thing worse than apathy is not caring about it.
Does anyone out there know of any child who had nesidioblastosis, lost
his/her pancreas, then stayed healthy or turned diabetic? I am looking
for similar cases to that of my daughter’s. In 1994, the Webster family
posted something on the Net (Prodigy back then??) about their two kids
having this disease. I can’t seem to find them on-line. I want to know
how long it will take for my daughter’s blood sugars to get too high.
Please send your responses to me at nmn…@aol.com.
Thank you very much!

Is there a store that will sell sweetners to U.S. citizens? Sweenters
that are not currently available in the U.S.?
If so, please provide a phone, email, fax, or address….
thanks!
Betty, we just go around and around with the same old arguments that have
been posted and reposted on this newsgroup. YOU have never answered any
of my valid questions, like: how does nutrasweet get digested, and
magically reform itself into a tumor composed of aspartame? I won’t
repeat all my questions because, quite frankly, I’m sick to death…not
of aspartame…but your silly posts about it.
