I've been checking my blood sugar at home with a glucometer, and I got 99 before eating. Then, 2 hours after having lunchwhich was mainly a maida wrap, chocolate cake, and ice creamit shot up to 151, and 3 hours later, it was 148. Is this something I should be worried about?

Your current readings are slightly higher than normal but not alarmingly high. However, its important to monitor your blood sugar over time, especially after consuming foods high in refined sugars. If these numbers become more consistent, it's worth discussing with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.

View allI've been dealing with gynecomastia and not sure if I should go for surgery or try other medications right now I'm using homeopathy but wondering if I should switch to something else what would you recommend
Once gynecomastia has been diagnosed, treatment of the underlying cause is warranted. If no underlying cause is discovered, then close observation is appropriate. If the gynecomastia is severe and of recent onset, medical therapy can be attempted, and if ineffective, glandular tissue can be removed surgically

I'm 31, pretty active, and married, but I've noticed my sexual desire is really low. Honestly, if I'm not pushed, I could go without even thinking about sex. It's starting to get to me mentally, and with plans to start a family soon, I'm a bit worried. What should I do about this lack of interest?
