I'm really eager to increase my height and I'm aiming for around 6'1''-6'2''. Is getting HGH injections a safe or effective option for me? Also, are there specific yoga exercises that can help with height growth? I'm really curious and would appreciate any advice you could offer on both these points.

HGH injections are typically only prescribed for medical conditions related to growth hormone deficiencies, and using them without supervision can have risks. For natural height growth, focusing on yoga poses like Tadasana, Surya Namaskar, and Trikonasana can help improve posture and flexibility, which may support your growth potential. It's always best to consult a doctor before considering HGH therapy.

I'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

normal hba1c is 5.6 and if your fasting is 122mgdl then it comes under pre diabetic range
