Is there anything I can do to raise my blood pressure when it drops very low?

Although my blood pressure tends to run a little low, I had a stroke about a yr ago & am diabetic. On insulin, but well controlled. But there are times, especially at night, when my BP drops down to around 70/55 & I feel like crap! Is there any way I can raise it when that happens safely that anyone knows of? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

can your period raise/lower blood sugar ?

i am 24. i just found out im type 2 last Feb. i was on the depo shot for 8 years. i didn't get a period when i was on it. i stopped my injections right around the time i found out i was diabetic. the last couple months ive been slowly getting my period back. spotting and cramps for a couple days. but ive noticed that my blood sugar is all over the place. i feel like im low all the time. but when i eat, it jumps around like crazy. is this normal? i know it may sound like a stupid question. but i haven't had a period in 8 years. and i just found out im diabetic less then a year ago. just during those few days when its that time of the month i feel like crap. hot then cold.. headaches.. sick to my stomach.. i cant tell if its my period or diabetes symptoms.

i eat right.. take my meds like im told.. my last a1c was good. 5.5.. i havent been to a doctor recently to ask questions about it. i stopped the birthcontrol hoping to get pregnant eventually. but no hurry. im taking vitamins with iron and folic acid. so no other problems.

Does fluoride in toothpaste block the absorption of supplements and vitamins?

My mother went to a nutritionist at the local "Clarks" nutrition store because supposively this guys has a good reputation. One thing he told her was to get toothpaste that was fluoride free because it blocks the absorption of supplements she needs. He is also a big believer in some book that says specifically which foods are good/bad for certain blood types. Any thoughts, knowledge or experience with this and is this guy legit or full of crap?

Am I allowed to buy over the counter vitamins?

Im 14, And I want to get some melatonnin to help with feeling like crap when i get out of bed. The way I sleep is different, because i go to bed, wake up several times and fall back to sleep until im ready to get up, and alarm clocks take out the point of that.
Anyway i was asking this question because I dont want to ask my mom for some, because i think she would say no and that its stupid, yet i heard it works. Does anyone know?
nice! but im not a pharamacist (and i wont be one!)
i just looked up something that would work.
also it makes dreams more vivid too X D
