Can it be found on your birth certificate? If not, is there another easy and simple way to figure it out?

I haven't been feeling real well the last couple of weeks so I thought I would check my blood sugar. I had dinner around 7:00pm and I've been checking my blood sugar throughout the night and it's been kind of high. I had gestational diabetes so I know the range. I guess the silly part of this is, is if you don't have diabetes does your blood sugar still rise?

Here are my blood sugar results over the past few hours;
8:10pm- 160
9:00pm- 178
9:20pm- 197
9:50pm- 202

Also, I've had this ache on my left side every time after I eat.

I am invited to a sleepover tomorrow night. Today was the first day of my period and I am afraid of bleeding on my friend's bed. I am really looking forward to this but the entire time I will be worried about it.

Advice please?

Hey there. I would like to know, what supplement can I take to make me not hungry. My goal is to lose about 30lbs from my 217lbs 6 foot build. I am 24. I plan to run about every night or at least 4 nights a week if weather allows me to.

I used to have a really high metabolism in highschool were I ate nothing but junk food, and did not gain weight I was 150lbs. and then a year out I was 165lbs. I think I look good enough around 185lbs.

My resting heart rate was 80-90 BPM, and my heart rate would go up just doing simple things. I was pretty sedentary for over a year, due to the fact that I spent the majority of it pregnant with my daughter. I wasn't in wonderful cardiovascular shape in the first place, though.

Now, I am not overweight (still within a normal BMI, although I have a few pounds to still shed from the pregnancy). I succumbed to smoking again after the pregnancy, I eat a good diet, and drink plenty of water.

I also had a normal EKG and blood enzyme test. I don't think that there's anything wrong with my heart (those tests would have shown it if there was, right?).

I want to know when I'm going to start feeling better. I've maintained 120-130 BPM during moderate cardio exercise (brisk walking about a mile and a half a night). I hate walking up a flight of stairs and getting out of breath!

I am a 41 year old female. The cramps I have are right below the breasts (in the middle) and go down to about 3+ inches above the navel and feel like a leg cramp only worse because of the area where they occur.
The area gets very hard and feels all knotted up. It's not hard to breath but very painful until the cramp recedes and then the area is sore for a while.
My father suffers from these cramps also.
Any idea of what causes them, what might cure them, how to keep them from happening?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Relapsed, and now thinks she can control it and have a drink once in a while. have allready started to see the insanity start where it left off. She is also a super enabler/ Co. trying to fix our daughters alcoholism. Also takes care of a sister who refuses to quit. Obviously the enviroment she provides does nothing for her own recovery. She has the usual remorse and guilt. I know something of the disease being in recovery 16yrs. I know I cant fix her. What can I possibly suggest to her she doesnt already know...she think disipline and logic will enable her to control it..we all know thats not the case. 12 step and meetings were not her thing for the 3yrs she was clean. Any suggestions?? We were married 18yrs. And still very close.

i have no self control. i'll get a brownie, and sit down or somehting. then when i'm done with it i go get another one. and it's not like i'm hungry, i just always feel like eating junk food.
i don't watch a lot of tv though, but i am on the computer a lot.
i tried chewing gum instead, but then i just run out of gum. i tried drinking a lot of water so i'd be full and not have an appitite, that doesn't work because i always have to pee. i tried brushing my teeth whenever i had a craving but it just doesn't stick. i even told my mom to stop buying junk food, but she does anyway for other people in the family. and i and not athletic AT ALL, and my lungs are horrible so i can't run. even in gym class.
i'm not fat, i'm 15 years old and 112 pounds at 5'5".
but i can see my thighs and butt getting bigger (at least it seems like that) and i hate my chubby cheeks. but they're only chubby when i smile.
but see i'm not FAT.

I have suffered with depression for many years. I have never been diagnosed by a doctor as (in my opinion) it is something that I need to deal with and I refuse to put zombie drugs and chemicals into my body. For years I have managed to control my feelings as best as possible and hide my emotions from all those around me but I am finding this increasingly difficult. I do not see how I can escape the situation I am in. Work full time, have a partner who has a child, have 2 dogs. There is literally no time for me to take a moment away so how do I handle the way I am feeling and manage to control myself? Some days at work I go into the toilets just to cry quietly. Please help and no stupid answers please.
