Health - 23 January 2007

I tested my nephew who has type 2 diabetes. He ask me to test myself and I did. It read 201. As far as I know, I don't have diabetes. Also, I have not eaten in 14 hours.

Is this something to be worried about?

I've noticed that since i've had braces that i'm eating a TON slower than i used too; in fact, i used to eat really fast. Now i'm eating nearly the same things i used to, minus a few obvious (nuts, chips... etc) and i'm always finishing it cold. Anyhow, i've noticed that i've already lost 2 lbs in the 6 weeks and that my love handles are slowly deminishing and my stomach is flattening back up.

Is this really the reason, or could it be something else?

I've finally reached a size that I love (36 28 37), which I want to maintain, but I also want to gain more definition through toning. My boyfriend suggests low weight/high reps (which is working great). And my calorie intake averages 2000/day. Is there anything else I can do or that I should avoid? How can I monitor my cardio so that I don't lose size?

I just had an abnormal pap come back and I'm supposed to call and schedul a biopsy, but I'm terrified!! I know that if I wait, there's a chance it can develop into cancer and it'll be even scarier- but I just can't get myself to make the appointment! Words of encouragement would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would like to know which is better because i was thinking about joining the gym but it costs £15 for membership and another £5 so that i can actually use the equipment in the gym. And i just think that's way to expensive....!

I am 13 years old and just want to have a skinny lower body to match the top of my body..

I have an exercise bike at home so that makes life easier...

Thanks...x

Hey, I am an otherwise healthy 25 year old who seems to have shaky hands. I cant hold them steady which makes doing things with them hard. Its not all the time and gets worse when I feel people are watching me. I would never be able to do bar work (which I want to do when I move) or carry cup and saucer! Know It may seem silly but what u think?

Two nights ago we went out to a bar with some friends, and I drank WAY WAY WAY too much. I don't remember much except going to the bathroom, then waking up to my mom shoving her fingers down my throat forcing me to vomit up the excess alcohol, then i must have blacked out again because I woke up naked in the bathtub at my home with no recollection of how I got there and also found out upon going to the restroom that I had a black eye and lots of bruises on my body. My head still hurts really really bad, not just my eye but my entire head is throbbing and I still feel nauseous...Could I have a concussion or am I still feeling the effects of the alcohol or what? Don't get on to me too bad, cuz I have sworn off alcohol, I am never ever drinking again and I truly mean it. It's stupid, and childish and expensive. I just want to feel normal again.

My friend spent 2 months in hospital over the summer due to liver failure from excessive drinking and was very close to leaving this world. During their recovery, they made a promise to never touch alcohol again and for 4 months they honoured their word. However, these past few weeks they have regressed back to their old habits and they have been on a heavy drinking binge for 5 days. We are very worried that they will end up in hopsital or worse. If there is anyone out there who has experience of or knowledge of a similar situation, we desperately need your advice on how to try help them and rid them of alcoholism once and for all before it gets them.

If the most a girl has had inside of her is a finger, will a vibrator be too big? will a 1 1/2" to 2" vibrator tear her open...will it make her bleed? will it break her hymen? in a sense will it "de-virginize" her? how much blood actually comes out when the hymen breaks?

i wake up all throughout the night with this horriable pain on my left side towards the back. i try sleeping on my back thinking that maybe i twist wrong but its only that one side.
i hear pregnant people get back pain but i havent gained anything but a few pounds due to the fact im only 6 1/2 weeks.

I already use Listerine Whitening Rinse. Whitening strips didn't really work for me, plus I don't just want the front whitened, I would like all of them whitened if possible, and I'm willing to pay up to maybe, $200. Thanks!
