Puffy nipples, especially if they fluctuate with temperature changes and you've ruled out underlying conditions like gynecomastia, are likely related to hormonal fluctuations or temperature sensitivity. If you don't want surgery, you can try lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, targeted exercise, and stress reduction to see if they help minimize puffiness

I'm 40 years old and I did a blood sugar test last week. My fasting was 124 and my postprandial (pp) was 97. I'm trying to understand why my fasting level is high since I'm not on any diabetes medication. I ran for 40 minutes just before doing this check for my fasting sugar, and I was sweating by the time I reached the lab. Could this have affected my sugar reading?
