You can call most any company and they will give you a free meter because they want you to buy the expensive strips. Call Bayer for that. You can also purchase a cheap meter. . .that works just fine. . .at Walmart and much cheaper strips. You need to test on a regular basis. Check am to see if your sugar raises during the night. Check before a meal and then two hours after. Your sugar should return to normal in those two hours. If not, you are diabetic or simply eat way too much of the wrong thing or both. Normal is 80 to 120. Some have changed it to 70 to 110. If you suspect you have diabetes or have been diagnosed, you need to learn all you can and you need to test yourself on a regular basis to be sure you keep yourself in those normal zones. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-does-your-nose-run-when-its-cold-outside#post-58271 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 07:11:04 +0000 greengo 58271@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>This is called "vasomotor" rhinitis.

The brand I'm using now is Focus Dailies Toric. I tried regular contacts, Multi-Focal and Bi-Focal contacts this time around, after having tried regular contacts a few years back, which due to my astigmatism were blurry more often than they were clear, because they moved out of place every time I blinked (and a bad fit was more a cause of this, which I find out years later, more than due to the astigmatism, thanks to a few kindly Yahoo Answer posters.) </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/are-penis-enlargement-pills-dangerous-for-ppl-under-18#post-58268 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:41:04 +0000 luv2hike 58268@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>These pills are just a scam.

Swelling after a piercing is normal. Good thing it isn't painful. Ice, ice, and more ice. Also, ibuprofen kills pain, but is also an anti inflammatory, may work. Unfortunately you may have to deal with swelling for a bit. Just like with a tattoo, (and I have a bunch) it'll look ugly for a while while it heals b4 it looks nice. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-is-there-so-much-tension-with-me-and-my-mother-if-i-hear-her-voice-or-presence-i-get-irritated#post-58265 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:25:05 +0000 michael hemphill 58265@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>hi im mike first if u live with her then this maybe hard but try going to a park or somewhere outdoors alone with no one ok and get some peace turn ur phone off yes i said it turn it off and just relax for a hour or two try to find a place away from anyone and just breathe deep and let ur mind clear and if u want scream as loud as u can a few times if u want while ur there tho or people may think ur crazy lol after that sit back and chill after turn ur phone back on go home and tell her u just had to get out or tell her u need sum me time and u will call her back or just tell her u need a break from her but that might hurt her feelings these are just sum ideas for u i hope it helps </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-the-chicken-pox#post-58264 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:21:04 +0000 Joseph the Second 58264@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>6 Days too many, for Me...

When your blood sugar level exceeds 180 mg/dL, Kidney eliminates excess blood sugar along with urine.<br /> The glucose urine test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in a urine sample. The presence of glucose in the urine is called glycosuria or glucosuria.<br /> Glucose tolerance test:<br /> Normal blood values for a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to check for type 2 diabetes:<br /> * Fasting: 60 -100 mg/dL<br /> * 1 hour: less than 200 mg/dL<br /> * 2 hours: less than 140 mg/dL. Between 140 - 200 mg/dL is considered impaired glucose tolerance (sometimes called "prediabetes"). This group is at increased risk for developing diabetes. Greater than 200 mg/dL is a sign of diabetes mellitus.<br /> Normal blood values for a 50-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to screen for gestational diabetes:<br /> * 1 hour: equal to or less than 140 mg/dL<br /> Normal blood values for a 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to screen for gestational diabetes:<br /> * Fasting: less than 95 mg/dL<br /> * 1 hour: less than 180 mg/dL<br /> * 2 hour: less than 155 mg/dL<br /> * 3 hour: less than 140 mg/dL<br /> Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter<br /> Blood glucose monitoring refers to the ongoing measurement of blood sugar (glucose). Monitoring can be done at any time using a portable device called a glucometer. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-does-your-nose-run-when-its-cold-outside#post-58262 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:11:03 +0000 greengo 58262@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>This is called "vasomotor" rhinitis.

Your body gets it's energy from the food that you eat. You need to eat at least three small healthy meals a day. You need to start off with a good breakfast. Like a bagel, fruit, and fat free yougert. Lunch: a sandwich on whole wheat bread, granola, and a parfet or cheese sticks.Dinner: You need a lean cut of meat and three vegetables. You get proteins from the meats. Aviod snacking on junk foods like candies, cookies, and chips. Drink plenty of water. Limit your cola intake. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day. Start out taking short brisk walks. Take a multi-vitamin that is appropriate for your age. See and doctor is this don't work. It may be something more serious. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-is-there-so-much-tension-with-me-and-my-mother-if-i-hear-her-voice-or-presence-i-get-irritated#post-58257 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:25:04 +0000 Rae 58257@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>how old are you? do you live with her? need more info than that </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/how-long-did-you-have-the-chicken-pox#post-58256 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:21:04 +0000 Laura B 58256@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>Probably ten days or so.

This is still true of Tibetan medicine. In TCM, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, diabetes can actually be diagnosed by a combination of taking the patient's pulses and medical history/symptoms. I have met iridologists who can and do diagnose from the patient's eyes. Diabetes in Western medicine can also be diagnosed with a Glucose Tolerance Test. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-does-your-nose-run-when-its-cold-outside#post-58254 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:11:03 +0000 greengo 58254@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>This is called "vasomotor" rhinitis.

Because of the nature of kidney infections, "flushing" it out with lots of water and meds like Azo or Pyridium have no effect.</p> <p>If the symptoms are unbearable, I would call the clinic that is doing the labwork tonight to speak with the nurse or on-call doctor. By now, they should know if the urine specimen has tested positive for UTI and if the culture is indicating possible growth. If a UTI is present (which I believe there is), there are several antibiotics that treat both UTI and kidney infection - so, you'll kill two birds with one stone and be two days ahead of the kidney infection. </p> <p>The reason I say I believe there is also a UTI is that it is highly unlikely that blood in the urine is a result of the kidneys, especially if it is red blood. By the time blood would pass from the kidneys to the toilet, it would most likely be brown unless there is serious damage to the kidneys - if it's bright red, then it's likely coming from a source closer to the bladder. </p> <p>Another thing to consider is stones. You may want to ask that they use your urine specimen to check for stones or calcium - this could easily explain your recurring UTI's.</p> <p>Good luck, and take care - I hope you're feeling better soon. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/what-other-tests-are-there-to-diagnose-diabetes-besides-fasting-glucose-and-a1c#post-58246 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:17:05 +0000 Verde 58246@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>There is also the glucose tolerance test. The idea is that the patient would eat/drink carbohydrates. The blood sugar level would be tested prior to eating, an hour after eating and 2 hours after eating. A diabetic would have trouble maintaining a "normal" blood sugar level i.e. 80 - 120 mg/dl. </p> http://forum.healthformore.com/topic/why-does-your-nose-run-when-its-cold-outside#post-58245 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:11:04 +0000 greengo 58245@http://forum.healthformore.com/ <p>This is called "vasomotor" rhinitis.
