This is because ammonia in your urine can potentially react with the bleach, producing irritating fumes.

Take a Pre-employment Health Check-up Test or Take a Amino Acids Qualitative, Plasma Test

I am currently taking Glycomet 500 mg in the morning and evening. My blood sugar readings are around 150 (fasting) and 190 to 200 (post meal). I underwent an IUI procedure 22 days ago and am now waiting to find out if I am pregnant. I am concerned about whether these sugar levels could affect the baby if the result is positive. Could you please advise me on what precautions I should take at this stage?
