Is 200 blood sugar normal after eating?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Post eating blood sugar (2 hours) is normal only when it is less than 140 mg/dl. Any reading from 140 - 200 is considered as Pre-diabetes and lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise must be started. Any reading above 200 is considered as Diabetes which needs medications in addition to life style modifications.

I'm 17 and really insecure about my small breast size. Is there any way to naturally increase my breast size without surgery? I feel really depressed about it and want to know if there are safe options to help them grow faster
It's understandable to feel insecure about your breast size, especially during adolescence. While natural breast growth primarily occurs during puberty, there are no guaranteed natural methods to significantly increase breast size without surgery. If you're concerned about your breast size, it's best to talk to your doctor or a gynecologist. They can help you understand what's normal for your age and help you address any potential concerns.
