I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm really worried. I've been masturbating for 56 years, but now I feel super weak, and it feels like things get worse whenever I do it. I'm experiencing weakness, hair fall, joint pains, and sometimes I feel so weak that I can't even lift anything or walk properly. I've tried ayurvedic treatments and seen many general physicians, but nothing seems to help. They all say it's not because of masturbation, but I can't help but notice my symptoms worsen afterwards. I've had tests like uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 done, and everything came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next.
take protein rich food and avoid to much masturbation

What foods can diabetics eat freely?
Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.
