I've got this lump behind my right nipple that showed up about a month ago. Some days it feels tender, and other times it just sits there. I'm wondering if it could be a swollen lymph node or maybe a symptom of an STD? I've been into weightlifting for the past three months and haven't used any supplementscould that be a factor? Also, my nipple sometimes feels irritated, especially when my shirt touches it. What do you think might be going on?

A lump behind your nipple could be a swollen lymph node, a benign cyst, or a glandular issue; lifting weights may cause breast tissue irritation or inflammation, especially if you're wearing tight or abrasive clothing; STDs are less likely, but possible; nipple irritation and tenderness can be caused by various factors, including friction, skin conditions, or hormonal changes; consult a doctor, preferably a primary care physician or a dermatologist, for a thorough examination and proper diagnosis to determine the cause and appropriate treatme

I've been drinking glucose water about three or four times a day, and I'm wondering if that's okay or if I should cut back. Could the increased sugar levels be harmful in any way? Are there any side effects to having glucose water more than once a day?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my blood sugar is 204 pp. I'm really worried about this. I'm on 8 units of insulin every day, but it seems like it's not enough. Can you suggest ways to better control my blood sugar? I'm also wondering if this could have any negative effect on my baby.
High blood sugar during this period can lead to macrosomic baby that can make the labour difficult. After birth baby is at risk of hypoglucemia, hyperbilirubinemia, thrombocytopenia etc. During this period you need to monitor your sugar levels 3-7 times per day and the insulin doses need to be modified to maintain fasting less than 90 and PP less than 120. Kindly get back with sugar chart and insulin dose details
