1452593 tn?1285187324 My Dr has prescribed a glucose 2hr PC as part of my regular HA1c bloodwork, and I wonder what he hopes to learn. I use Lantus in the morning for my baseline and Humalog for meals/high sugar etc. His instructions have never been clear when I go for the bloodwork after fasting ( the other tests he runs at the same time as the HA1c require a 12 hr and 8 hr fast). Should I administer both insulins as I would normally (Lantus at brreakfast time and Humalog if the fasting sugar is high, ie.

4251679 tn?1370305531 My next appt ill be getting a glucose test. I've read many of times on here that they'll make you drink a sugary substance and then take your blood. But here's the thing.. my clinic doesn't draw blood. My doctor told me go a week before my next appt to the blood center to get blood drawn. But wouldn't that be defeating the purpose? How could they test my blood from a week before and get the results if I'm not drinking the stuff til the date of my appt?

446049 tn?1649005835 Start your own as everybody is different than the next person. Begin with eliminating white foods - white flour, white bread, white rice, potatoes, sugar. The purpose of eliminating these white foods will help get you started in adopting a healthier way of eating as they are high in digestible carbohydrates. High DC equals high glucose levels. You mention bran flakes. Bran flakes are high in fiber and good for you.
Avatar m tn Five years ago, I was given a Glucose meter and checked my levels. They were perfect. Fasting was around 80. After a meal, maybe 120. So no worries. Then a couple of years ago, I got out the meter and ordered some strips. Tested Glucose and fasting ranged from 88 to 100. I ate a big old bowl of chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce after dinner one night and after one hour, checked glucose and it was at 155! Went to Doctor and he checked my A1C and it was 4.9. He said that was fine.

1530342 tn?1405016490 Apply a good medicated powder to the area such as Gold Bond Powder. This kind of powder will help dry out the hot spot and help it heal. Gold Bond is good as it contains zinc and menthol and most dogs find the taste unappealing so they won’t lick the powder off the wound. It also prevents the hot spot from itching. And one lady commented and said this... The only Listerine I had was the "Orange flavored" kind. I USED HYDROGEN PEROXIDE and it worked wonders.

Avatar m tn Although, I was not too sure I thought its a common itching that has taken place and I used to apply talcum powder/medicated gel/even mustard oil to get relief. But when the skin condition worsened I had a visit to a Skin Specialist and he mentioned some fungal and Bacterial infection. Both side of skin was irritated very much and wounded. I went through a set of medicines/creams and as of today, it is better (60-70% better).

1166767 tn?1315427171 I failed my 1 hour test so I had to go today and do the 3 hour glucose test. Fasting- nothing to eat or drink from midnight the night before. So she took my fasting blood then told me to drink a whole bottle of that nasty sugary orange drink and right away I started to feel sick. Exactly one hour after drinking it I vomited it all back up. I didn't say anything because I was afraid they'd make me drink it again.
Avatar f tn I used several cleaning products including glass cleaner, CLR, Mr.Clean all purpose cleaner, bleach powder and bleach liquid without using gloves for 2 consecutive days. Most of these were pumps and not aerosol sprays. I was continually using them, so would believe I would have had atleast 8 hours of exposure though whiffs, and through the skin. I believe I would have been 9 days pregnant while doing this cleaning. Everywhere I read, it says cleaning products cause birth defects.
