I recently had a blood test and my fasting glucose was 102, which means I'm high-risk for developing diabetes. I weight 122 pounds and am 5'6". I have a very balanced diet, and don't even like sweets or sodas. I exercise several times a week and walk a lot. I have very low cholestrol and even lower blood pressure. I'm 36 and don't have any history of diabetes in my family.
Is there anything I can do to prevent diabetes? Is it hopeless?

It started as only 2 little bumps that I thought were ingrown hairs. Now I have about 15 and they itch and hurt. I got them the day after I went swimming in Lake Michigan, but that could just be coincidental. Any suggestions as to what these may be would be appreciated! sorry this is gross..haha

I was tested yesterday for HPV. I have good reason to belief that I possibly have it. My boyfriend is now wondering what will happen to him if he was given the disease by me?

My mother has a low Red Blood Cell Count. She is seeing her doctor steadily and they are running tests, but I am curious as to what might be the problem. Could it have something to do with Lymphona, or another type of cancer? Any honest & knowledgeable suggestions would help. I just kind of want to prepare myself. I always try to expect the worst that way I am not so disappointed. Thank you for your help.

I have always suffered with headaches, gum itching and throat soreness after eating chocolate (so nice though!) and on one occassion after eating 8 creme eggs my throat started closing up and I had to go to hospital. It seems more the amount I eat which causes the reaction, or any type of galaxy which swells my throat up and makes it incredibly sore no matter how small a piece I eat. I have finally begun to accept the relationship between me and chocolate is not meant to be. I had a blood test to check for allergy and it came back 'borderline????'' and my doctor said I should avoid it. But I am confused and wondered why it is there does not appear to be a full blown allergy, but why it has the potential to react severely, but does not do it every time. I am totally confused
Does anyone have any knowledge of this sort of stuff??

My dad is having a stint put in for blockage tommorow. I'd like to go by their house while he's in the hospital and make sure they have everything they need when they get back. They live in the country so the less my mom would have to leave him to come to town the better. Aside from meals and regular groceries is there anything he'll need for the pain etc? Ice packs?? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Lina, a patient, was suffering from cholera and was already crying out in pain. She lives in a remote area in ****** with her husband Gregorio. Since the supply of medicine that could cure Lina was out of stock in their dilapidated clinic, the doctor left in charge gave her instead a coca cola. What for?

She's already had it for about a week with no signs of it easing up. Also, it doesn't itch.

Five clear plastic, perfectly crafted demonstration models are made for educational purposes, with special attention being paid to the accuracy and detail of the complete cardiovascular system. Each has an identical heart, beating at a controlled steady 73 bpm, delivering 5 litres/min total systemic flow round the loop. All other details are completely uniform APART FROM the five aortas and principal arteries, large and small, as far down as the brachial arteries.

For interest's sake, one of the models has perfect normal (i.e., young and healthy) elasticity for its aorta and arteries.

Two others have theirs made of (a) much less compliant plastic and (b) much more compliant plastic.

The fourth has its aorta and arteries made from virtually non-compliant plastic, and (you guessed!) the fifth has its made of something like condom latex..

So, five perfect, uniform models, all having blood ejected from the ventricle at the same pressure.

What will the brachial B/P's be?

My grandmother is on Amitriptyline and Paxil. I have been setting up her meds for her and they are both described by a different doctor. I read Amitriptline is also for muscles and pain. She has been dizzy and wants to sleep and just not herself. Could it be shes taking 2 antidepressents? I dont think she needs both of them. Any Suggestions? Thanks
