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.

View allI'm 20 and my breast size is barely 30 even the smallest cup size is too big. I've tried breast creams, fenugreek, and massages but nothing worked. I eat balanced but it doesn't help. Are there non-surgical ways to increase breast size, like estrogen-boosting injections or other methods?
Estrogen injections are not commonly recommended due to risks.Non-surgical breast enhancement methods usually have limited evidence.A hormonal evaluation might help if development is delayed.

I'm trying to understand the best sperm count and motility needed for a successful IUI. My husband's count is only 3 million and his motility is 20 before washing, but it goes up to 40 after. Is this considered good for IUI? We've already tried four times, so I'm wondering if there's still a chance for success on the fifth try.
For IUI success, optimal semen parameters are: count > 10 million, motility > 32%, and post-wash motility > 40%; your husband's count is low, but motility is adequate after washing, and while chances are lower, you may still consider a 5th IUI attempt.

Vitcofol injection is safe to take for B12 supplementation in patients with hypothyroidism. It is important to maintain adequate B12 levels, especially in patients with thyroid disorders. The usual dosage for Vitcofol injection is 1 ml intramuscularly once a day for 5-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
