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
I have a few questions about Weight loss?
Hi, I really want to lose some weight. As much & as fast as I can because I have something coming up.I don't know if this matters, but my arms & legs are really skinny but I have a huge stomach, & thick thighs, So here are a few question I have.
1) What kind of exercises would I do to burn fat from my thighs & stomach?
2) If i did some intense training, how much weight could I lose in a week (7 days) I'm only trying to lose like 10 pounds!
3) What kind of Multi-Vitamins should I take?
4) What are some food/vegetables that are high in fibers & healthy stuff?
5) Are plain yogurts with fruit at the bottom, ok?
6) If it's fat free, does that mean it's ok to eat?
7) Is walking just as good as running?
8) What kind of drinks should I drink (Green Tea, Iced Tea, etc...
9) How much time should I exercise a day?
10) About how many calories do you burn while walking/jogging?
11) What's the most weight you've ever lost in week?
Thanks for all your help.
12) Is it better to eat or exercise first?
13) What kind of cereals can I eat for breakfast that would help me loose weight?
EDIT: Please don't tell me all this junk about not losing weight, I just really want to lose like 10-15 pounds before Sunday. After that i'll lose weight properly!
14) where online can I find good exercise videos?
Please don't spam me with your crap. I know you guys get a lot of points by going to every question & answering the same thing in the Diet & Fitness section LISA. Even if it isn't relevant to the question!
