My husband is a newly found diabetic, and his sugar level is pretty high right now.

He is on 2 meds, he just started them yesterday.

He has been waiting for his sugar to get low enough to eat so it wouldnt get to high, only now we just checked and his suagr is 483 and just 3 hours ago it was 300. He hasnt ate anything, just drank sugar free hawaiian punch. It says NO sugar just Phenylalanine. Can Phenylalanine raise your blood sugar?

Thanks.

I have this thing right under my eyebrow that appeared out of nowhere. It looks like a pimple (as nasty as that could sound) except it doesnt go away ! and it has like a little hole in the middle.

I tried squeezing it..and this white crap comes out. If i squeeze it for too long i can see blood inside it!....but it keeps growin back! It's really disgusting looking and I dont know how to get rid of it !

PLEASE HELP ME ! ='[

even if you're not sure what it is... but have an idea...it would really help.

OH! and dont tell me to go to the doctor... tell me something i don't know =P thank you in advance.!

why do people presume the word std is related with sleeping around being a skank as I was called when asking a delicate question on chlamydia.
Some people are so ignorant it is easy to only have 2 partners in the whole 10 years of being sexually active and trusting one another to have unprotected sex! and both being clueless of having anything or please tell me is this unacceptable should people be slated?

I have heard that it's not good to cry b/c it affects how your eyes/skin around eyes looks. So does this mean there's permanent damage from crying????

I tried Drysol, and it is not working for me. My hands sweat because of anxiety mostly, but it is a real problem because they are sweating most of the time. I do not want the operation. What else is there?

A few weeks ago at basketball practice we were running our laps before practice. it was only 10 laps and i should have been able to do it (i ran cc before bball season) but in the middle of them my lungs like tightened up and all of my breaths came in really short and i couldnt breatrhe well.

tonight at basketball it happened again but this time i was okay during the 10 laps but like an hour later we did 1 suicide. ONLY ONE! and i couldnt breathe afterwards for like 10 minutes and then once i could breathe again i got a really really bad head ache.
ive told my mom about this both times but she thinks im just runnin too fast.

what do you think i should do?

He had to go the hospital at 4 a.m. this morning. It's now almost 8 p.m. They said he is trying to pass a kidney stone. They also said 24 to 48 hours to do so. He is in extreme pain. Can't sleep for more than 5 minutes at a time. The pain med they perscribed for him makes him sick. Even with food. He is drinking water and juice. Any advice to help make him more comfortable? Is all this normal? Thanks.

I'm just curious how many people actually know that there is such a thing out there called PKU and I want to see what you all know. I know what PKU is, I actually know what PKU is very well but I want to see what you know. So if you know anything about PKU now is your time to 'gloat.'

He even went to see my GP(without my knowledge) to tell my doc that he's wrong and I don't have a problem!!LMFAO

He doesn't understand that I can't go a whole day without at least 4-5 cans of super strength lager( or 8-10 pints) yep that may not seem a lot but is an adults weekly intake per day and I'm not exactly(at 5'6" & under 8 stone) an average size

Hello does anyone have breast cancer? I was curious as to if you had any symptons prior to finding out. I have a lump and am a little afraid but going to the doctor to get it checked. My grandmother just passed away from breast cancer she had it but didnt know and never went to the doctor so we (the family) did not know until it was too late. I never got to ask her if she had any symptons but I am curious. Thanks

Is there any way I can boost the collagen production in my skin without undergoing expensive procedures or using skin creams with collagen in them?

If so, did it work? I've tried teatree oil before for that because I know it works as an antifungal but no such luck. I am hoping colloidal silver works.

I'm a nurse but I can't think of what these symptoms may be from and maybe someone else has had it? When I inhale and exhale, I feel this kind of "crunchy" feeling, almost like a rubbing inside my chest on the right hand side. When I'm doing things I can't feel it but when I sit still, I can feel it and it drives me nuts. Also, it seems as though if I push my right breast in when I breath, the feeling goes away... it's weird and I am seeing a dr about it next week but thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Thanks in advance.
