Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Physical exercise lowers blood glucose levels and blood pressure, improves blood flow, burns extra calories so you can keep your weight down if needed, improves your mood, can prevent falls and improve memory in older adults, may help you sleep better. Start exercising after speaking to a doctor, start slowly and increase. Few types are walking briskly or hiking, climbing stairs, swimming or a water-aerobics class, dancing, riding a bicycle or a stationary bicycle, taking an exercise class, playing basketball, tennis, or other sports

I'm a bit confused and a little worried about my blood sugar levels. My fasting blood sugar is 122, and my postprandial is 95. I always thought the postprandial level should be higher than the fasting one. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what treatment options would be best for me? Does this mean I'm diabetic or not? I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

I'm hoping you can help me out because I've been struggling to get clear answers from the homeopathic doctors who prescribed me Testis siccati 3x. I'm really curious if this medicine actually contains testosterone like what's used in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and if it works the same way as when you inject testosterone. Also, I'm worried if taking this might cause my body to stop producing its own natural testosterone and if there's a risk of becoming dependent on it over time. It's been helpful, but I'm nervous about potentially causing more harm than getting just temporary relief. Could you explain or point me in the right direction for answers?

Injecting testosterone and medicine r 2 different things. Injectable things generally body treat as foreign particle so it effect is limited time and after some time body remove it. Bt homoeopathic medicine generally prepare to its actually product and given in very nano form. In body homoeopathic medicine amount is very less bt energy is high so it act on normal hormonal system to produce more testosterone naturally due to homoeopathic medicine. There r lots of thing which r not says in few line. Nobody can depended on homoeopathic medicine. Once medicine start it produces naturally so no need of dependence on medicine.
