My father is suffering from Diabetes Mellitus (Type II), [diagnosed 6 years ago].A small complication that he suffered recently made me wonder about the following:
Which value to be trusted more? FBS or PPBS
His FBS is just around 100 but PPBS goes upto 300

I recently strained my left ankle (pulled a muscle) and now I feel aches and pain in my leg and thigh. I can only feel it in my left leg and sometimes numbness and burning sensations. It's hard to explain as I never felt like this before and you can't feel pain when you touch it, only the feeling.

The worse is when I'm sitting down in front of a computer...as my leg feels uncomfortable.

Should I seek a podiatrist for help or will it heal by itself but by months? I went to see a doctor but he didn't have a clue of what to do, just gave me tablets but didn't help.

Any suggestions...

Frigidaire Microwave Oven Problems. Recall?
I have a Frigidaire/Electrolux Microwave Oven. Model # PLMB 186CCB
Manufactured in 10/2003.
About 4 months ago, I was melting some butter and the microwave
started sparking as if metal had been placed in it and turned on. I
immediately opened the oven and then reset the timer and tried again.
Once again, it started that sparking and it was making very loud
"Zapping" noises. I gave up and didn't think about it again until
about 3 weeks later when he same thing happened. I decided to
completely rinse out the inside of the oven and also thooughly wash
the glass rotating dish inside. I didn't have anymore occurances
until 3 days ago when I was heating up some coffee and I had left the
room to give my baby a bottle and when I returned (approximately 30
seconds later) the oven was on fire inside! A hole was burned through
the top of the oven and after contacting Frigidaire, they told me that
my warranty was up but they would give me a 50% rebate on my next
Frigidaire microwave oven.
Thing is, when I asked the service rep about what had happened, his
response to me was "Yes, i've had other calls where the same thing has
happened". So i'm thinking they really should be replacing my
microwave. I mean, if they knew about this sort of thing taking place
(the rep called it "spontaneous interior combustion") shouldn't they
be recalling the oven? Anyone know of someone I can contact regarding
this issue? Frigidaire doesn't give out their email addresses, it's
one of those form pages that you send to them. So i'm just thinking
if this is something that happens, consumers should be aware of it.
Any info would be great. Thanks

only one problem is: on middle of my nose one mark is appearing big it seems to be ugly?

The residence of this problem is: in my child hood i was played a game with my brothers at that moment i was fallen on stone.So i lost lot of blood and i was sick,before that i was looking very good in colour and active.So i lost so much of blood and i am suffering with this problem.

Once i went to skin care specialist he told me to choose plastic surgery to remove that mark on u r nose.I don't want plastic surgery. Apart from that is there anything else to resolve my problem? or else is there any cream to remove that mark on my nose?

I've tried proactive and murad with no results as well as all the over the counter stuff. It started off small but I'm now getting deep large pimples and they're leaving scars. I'm open to trying anything at this point so if someone out there has any off the wall cures or advise I'm listening. Thanks much

I think I am getting into too deep of a sleep. I sleep through alarm clocks and lots of noises. I also dream alot up until the point of waking up. I've always heard that when your dreaming you are in your deepest sleep. I sleep for 10-13 hours everyday and wake still feeling tired. It's like I can never get enough sleep. When I do get up I have a hard time actually 'waking' up fully. I have heard that there is such a thing as a rthymic sound generator to prevent one from getting into too deep of a sleep so that it will be easier to arise in the morning, but I haven't had any luck in finding any info on this online. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I have this problem even when I go to bed at earlier times too.
