I've been questioning whether or not I'm diabetic and I bought a glucose tester today and it said my blood sugar level is 45. What does that mean?

I have it on my scalp, and cant get rid of it. I was wondering if putting some conditioner on my scalp would help, or would it make it worse?

I was diagnosed with strep throat and put on antibiotics. Then, it moved to my sinuses and I got short of breath if I even walked around.

The doctor changed the antibiotic and gave me an inhaler because I registered in the 300 point range, below the 400 point range of what I should register on the air meter for my age and height.

I tried to use the inhaler and it is like all the medication shoots into my tongue and won't go down my throat.

Any advice on how to get it to work correctly??
What am I doing wrong? I never used one before.
Thanks.

I've had an awful experience with kidney stones before...it included intense pain, getting very ill, 3 trips to the ER and eventually, having them surgically removed.

I noticed the other week that my back was hurting a bit. I just thought it was stress or it was feeling tired. But now I'm starting to feel a sharp pain/pressure in my groin area on the left side. This is reeeally similar to how I felt a few months before I developed a kidney stone previously.

What can I do to prevent them from developing again??? I know to drink lots of water, but is there anything else that helps?

If you have 4 people in the same house and they all have the same cold at the SAME TIME, is it just going to run its course and be gone or could we keep passing it back and forth, since we live in the same household and are always around each other.

We think it may be a few things: 1) The detergent we have been using to wash her clothes in, 2) The change in weather, or 3) our pet cat. I guess it could even be a combination of the 3. She's 21months and the itching started about 2months ago...Any body have any ideas or suggestions to help???

The CT scan also showed a 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch tumor in his top left lung. Still waiting for an Oncologist appt. Anyone have any hope for this? Is it cancer or could it be something else, we live in the desert. Thank you for any reply. Also we don't have life or mortgage protection, as it's not yet confirmed is it too late to try to get some?

My 7 year old Grandson has arrived for the weekend, he has a really nasty rash raised spots, the skin is very warm to the touch, only where his underpants cover. He is not unwell in himself, I think its probably an allergy rash - washing powder probably. The thing is what can I use to eleviate and calm it down that is safe on a 7 year old, particularly in tender places?!?

Ok so I have started talking to this girl...Since we have been talking I found out that she slept with a guy last summer who apparently has just been let out of jail cause he is dying from AIDS. Admittedly she was in a bad and weak-minded state in her life or she would have never even been in that situation with him. Well she just found out about this, but she has had 3 HIV tests, the most recent being this past week and all 3 have been negative. So it has been about 9 months. My only concern is with all the questioning as to whether HIV is actually the cause of AIDS now, can you be sure that an HIV negative test assures you from contracting anything that could turn into the AIDS virus? Basically by sleeping with her is there a guarantee that a person would never contract AIDS since those HIV tests were negative?? Hmmm, what to do...
