I was recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic.
The other day My blood sugar count was 6.9 just before I went to bed (a little high) and when I got up next morning after complete fast it was 7.5.
Should it do that if I hadn't eaten ? and why would it do that?

Okay, so I'm kind of concerned and don't know if I should be. I always randomly gain like 5 pounds over night. I never gain weight, I'm always around the same amount. But I've come to realize that when it's gained... it's always around my period. Is this the reason? I figured it would be since once I'm off it I'm back to normal. But if that is the reason... why? Is anybody else like this?

I know underweight (BMI 18.5) is about 114 lbs for someone my height, but will I be too thin at 125 lbs. I'm 138 lbs, size 6-8 now. My mom thinks I would look good at 125, but my dad says I'll "disappear completely" at that weight

I really need to get over this as I am anaemic and have infections so need to take antibiotics. Unfortunately, I am a skint student and a single parents, so cannot afford to pay. They dont treat this on the NHS. I am in Leeds in the UK and would need somewhere which is wheelchair accessible. I cant afford to pay, so perhaps a student would be able to assist me?
Does anyone else have this problem? How did you get treated?
Please help!

I have been yazmen and now I'm on a season L, this makes me have a period every 4 months. I don't think this is very safe (my opinion). What other birth controls are best. I have stabalizing cramps and sometimes I throw up during my period when I haven't been on birth control. So therefor I probably need something strong I'm geusing. Thank you for the help!!

She was 23 when she was diagnosed in 2005. She wrote about her cancer treatment and progress in the Chronicle, and then, last summer, she started a blog, and she hasn't posted to it in four months.

My husband (35) has been suffering from constant & severe migraines and heavy nose bleeds for more than a decade now.

He saw a doctor in his 20's about his problems, but the doctor assured him that it was just a passing 'stress phase'.

However, many years have gone past and they have only taken a turn for the worse.

I dont know why he hasnt gone to see a doctor again since for a seond opinion, but I finally persuaded him to see one this afternoon.

Does anyone know what could be causing these symptoms? I'm afraid that the doctor will turn around and say something horrible such as 'brain tumours'...

I got a seven day free prescription for Ambien CR filled last night. I took one and went to bed in my room upstairs (or so I thought). I awoke about four hours later on the couch downstairs. I had consumed over half a bottle of wine and taken three more of the Ambien. I am very troubled about this. I don't remember anything. I have no history of substance abuse whatsovever and drink maybe three times a year. I'm afraid to discuss this with my doctor as he will think I'm an alcoholic or some kind of werido.

My dr. diagnosed me with slight hypo-thyroidism. & i was supose to make another appt with her to continue treatment ( i have no insurance.. so i'll find a solution later) but my question is that I dont like the idea of being on medicine for the rest of my life (im only 25). & plus I read online that if women take thyroid medicine in there childbearing yrs. the chances of having under-developed or disabled kids is higher. Is there any thing natural I can do?
