I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been noticing that my beard isn't growing much. I eat a lot but it seems like my body isn't really growing either, as I've become taller but thinner. Also, my penis seems small to me. I usually masturbate about three times a week. Should I be concerned about my health because of these things?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

What should my bone mass be for my age?

The average bone content for adults is 3-5%. This measurement is good to keep track over a long period of time as bone mass can decline slowly with age.

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
