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.

What do guys have instead of periods?
IMS (Irritable Male Syndrome). This can be attributed to men experiencing a drop in testosterone, the hormone that gives them their mojo. Their IMS can happen at anytime, as testosterone levels fluctuate during the day, but they tend to be highest during the morning and drop as the day goes on.

Can you take Thyronorm on an empty stomach before brushing your teeth? And is it really necessary to wait at least an hour before eating or drinking anything after you've taken the medicine? I'm trying to make sure I'm doing it right.
