Non diabetec.what's a good way to check blood for diabetes at home...Like what numbers do I look for and when?

Thank You for your time.

i'm not sure what you mean by numbers. do you have a kit to test your blood sugar? if so, then 100 is ideal. if it's much lower than that, you need to eat and if it's much higher, you need a little insulin IF you're diabetic. if you're not diabetic, then there's no reason to check your blood sugar in the first place because your body will naturally take care of it.

if you're suspect you might be diabetic but haven't been diagnosed, the symptoms are pretty distinct. the most obvious sign is if you feel REALLY thirsty all the time, drink tons, pee tons, and still feel like you need to drink more. losing weight quickly for no apparent reason can be a symptom as well. if you're experiencing that, you should go to the hospital. they can check your blood sugar and let you know if you really do have an insulin problem or not.

if you're not diabetic but you're taking care of someone who is, talk to a doctor about exactly what you should be doing and when.

good luck!

Heart rates?

I noticed today that on the treadmill there were monitors for your heartbeat. Also a little graph showing how your heart rate and why kind of exercise you were doing.

Ignore what it actually says on the machine.....

take 220 and subtract your age....tehn divide that in half to get the bottom of your target range....now take that 220 - x and multiple it by 75% and thats the top end of your target....

Those machines aren't accurate for much, so disregard what it says for your heartrate - take it yourself (well, your pulse) and know what numbers are right for you

The key to making sure that you have the best skin possible is choosing the right anti aging products. Its important to realize that not all anti aging creams and powders are created equal. Some will work well for one person but not work for another. There are even products that don't work at all. How do you choose the right product, then? How do you minimize the risk of damaging your skin? Here are some tips for choosing the best anti aging products.

Look for anti-aging products that contain copper. Copper is important because it helps the skin heal. Copper occurs naturally in your skin, but infusing more copper in through a skin care regimen helps increase collagen levels. Higher collagen production makes your skin look and feel healthier. In many skin care products, the copper that is included is called "copper peptides." This also helps your skin maintain it's elasticity, making it harder for wrinkles and lines to appear.

You will also want to look for products that contain kinetin if you are buying synthetic. Kinetin has been found to be what makes plants grow in several scientific studies. It is used in several skin care products because it's ability to eliminate wrinkles and other blemishes. Kinetin is key in helping the skin retain moisture and it also increases collagen production. As has already been mentioned, it is very important to keep your collagen production up. If you lose collagen your skin loses its elasticity and that is how wrinkles set in.

Almost every dermatologist and skin care professional is going to tell you to look for anti aging products that contain retinol. Retinol is very important if you want to reduce the signs of aging. Vitamin A has many types and retinol is one of them. Along with being a vitamin, it can act as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are not just essential to your internal health. Your external health benefits from them, as well. Retinol can be used to help lots of health issues. Of course, this does not mean that you can improve your health by eating your face cream!

The simple truth is that every person gets older and as they age their bodies start to show signs of wear and tear. This does not mean, however, that you have to just sit back and watch it happen. When you use the right anti aging products, you can stave off the effects of aging for decades. That's right: the commercials aren't lying: with the proper skin are you can look decades younger! Just make sure that your approach to skin care and anti-aging is knowledgeable and well thought out. Don't just use any old product because it's cheap or popular. Always read the ingredients to check for the things that you know will help your skin.

What is the best way to learn Yoga at home?

I know of people cured naturally of diabetes through detoxing and diet - what is best detoxing?

A friend of mine's husband was cured of diabetes naturally through diet, nutrition, and most especially, detoxing. I have been out of touch with my friend for a while now, but I never found out what detoxing is and if there is any special nutrition.

This is kind of funny when someone has to put "blah, blah, RETIRED NURSE..." thinking that people will be impressed. With me, it is quite the opposite - as though you are trying to justify some shortcomings. I say this because I am living proof that it can be completely cured - my brother-in-law showed me how because I was thirsty, tired, and I had to urinate all the time. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. It took about 6 months and after 5 months I knew I did not have diabetes anymore. Why? Because I wasn't tired, thirsty, and did not have to urinate all the time anymore.

I had not been to the doctor during this time, and kept giving the doctor excuses for not going back. After I decided to go back, my brother-in-law told me not to tell the doctor anything. The doctor did a blood test again and said, "That's really strange - there is no sign of diabetes in your blood anymore...but you know, this happens sometimes..." Of course it does doc!! LOL

It was through detoxing and good nutrition that I was cured. As the person above mentioned about the sun revolving around the earth, the "retired nurse" and the others still living in the time when the sun revolved around the earth need to realize what a crock so much "modern" medicine actually is.

The people who are actually curing people of Type 2 diabetes and cancer everyday can be found at www.gerson.org.

anyone know anything about knee braces?

I have knee pain. doc thinks i tore a ligament in my knee. while doc is running tests and guessing, he suggested i wear a knee brace.
i bought a cheap hinged one from walmart, but i would like to try one that takes all the weight off the knee, like the post op ones, but i still need to walk and bend the knee.
any one know if the one in this pic gives good support? can you walk in it? bend the knee? wear pants over it ? ( i realize the brace wont be hidden, it is too bulky, just wondering if it fits under pants.)

The one in the picture is a great brace, but it is intended for post op support and has features that you may not need. Such as limiting your range of motion immediately after surgery.

Since you haven't had surgery I'd stay away from this one as it probably isn't what you need right now.

Ultimately I'd need to know what is wrong with your knee to determine which brace is right for you.

If you aren't going to know that for a bit and need a great overall brace go with the DonJoy Playmaker. It will fit under loose fitting clothes and does a great job of providing compression and it's hinges will help stabilize your knee. One thing to point out it comes in a wrap around version that you can actually wear over pants or leggings if you need to.

If you've done something more serious you may need a more rigid brace. Your doctor will ultimately know best and having the info regarding your specific injury is really the key.

How Do I Read My Blood Pressure Result?

My blood pressure is 134/93. What does the 134 and 93 mean?

Systole is the first number; it is the amount of pressure your blood vessels are under when the heart pumps blood through. You know the "lub-dub" sound your heart makes? Systole is the "lub", or contraction phase of the heartbeat. Diastole is the second number, the amount of pressure your vessels are under when there is no force of blood being pushed through, or the "dub" phase of your heartbeat. "Normal" blood pressure is 120/80, but that is just a guide. I am extremely small statured, so my blood pressure runs relatively low compared to normal people's. 134/93 is a little high, but not majorly. The top number is the more important of the two. If it gets too high, it can cause strokes or aneurisms(rupturing of vessel walls). If it goes over 150, i would call the doctor. Take care and good luck.

Gestational Diabetes Question...?

My doctor informed me at my last visit that my blood sugar after one hour of consuming the sugary drink required for a gestational diabetes screening test was 11.1 and it should have been 10.2 or lower which means I have gestational diabetes.

Hi! I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes. I have never once had elevated blood pressure nor protein in my urine. I didn't experience ONE symptom of GD. My weight gain has been minimal (13 lbs total!) so it's not like I'm gorging myself. The problem with GD originates in the placenta. It kicks out the insulin which your body is unable to process completely. So what happens is that your baby gets all the extra insulin (sugar). Your baby can be quite large (9-11 lbs); born with low blood sugar,an increased risk of stillbirth, respiratory distress. What's key is that you follow any instructions given to you by your dr. With me, I had to limit my carb intake. 30 grams for breakfast and snack; 45 for lunch and dinner. It was quite hard at first but it's like 2nd nature now. The key is to take care of yourself now to prevent problems down the road. Good luck!!
