Is blood sugar in the 180-220 range bad?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A blood sugar reading of more than 180 mg/dL or any reading above your target range is too high. A blood sugar reading of 300 mg/dL or more can be dangerous. If you have 2 readings in a row of 300 or more, call your doctor.

View allI'm a 27-year-old girl, and my height is around 5 inches. I'm really wondering if it's possible to increase my height at this point. Could you let me know if there are any options or methods available for someone my age to grow taller?
once you're done growing, that's pretty much it. Men grow height-wise until 21 years old, although depending on the person they may experience slight changes until 25. For someone in their later twenties, you're already not producing the regul ar pulsatile bursts of growth hormone needed to stimulate longitudinal growth, but even if an exogenous source was provided, the growth region of the bone known as the epiphyseal plate has already shut down, so you'd only grow laterally.....

I'm dealing with Spine Tb and I've been on medication for about 3 months now. But I've put on 6 kg in just one month and I'm worried because I also have a Grade 1 fatty liver. It's making me feel heavier, and I'm finding it harder to breathe. What can I do to lose some weight?
you have to start exercising and eat nutritious food. do intermittent fasting
