My mother has been experiencing vision problems for the past 8 to 10 days. After a checkup and some tests, the doctor said she has a retina problem with blood clotting and swelling behind the retina in her left eye. What should be done next for proper treatment?

Retina swelling and blood clotting needs urgent retina specialist care. Common in diabetes, BP issues. Need to test for underlying causes.

I recently got my blood sugar test done with fasting and my report showed 99 mg/dl. I performed the same test 8 months ago and it was 84. I am also currently undergoing homeopathy treatment. Please advise if my report is normal. I do not want it to reach 100 mg/dl. How can I lower it? I am worried.

Is it possible to lower one's blood sugar before a blood test?
