1. Am I at risk for double diabetes?
   
   
2. How do I avoid developing double diabetes if I have type 1 diabetes?
   
   
3. How do you know that my symptoms are caused by double diabetes?
   
   
4. Do I need to lose weight? How much, and at what pace?
   
   
5. What exercise program should I follow?
   
   
6. How should I improve my diet? Should I consult a registered dietitian? Can you recommend one?
   
   
7. What tests will you use to diagnose my condition? Do I need to do anything to prepare for these tests?
   
   
8. What are my treatment options, and which do you recommend?
   
   
9. Are others in my family at a higher risk for double diabetes? Should they be tested?
   
   
10. If my child has double diabetes, what else do I need to know?
