I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. What types of foods do you usually eat? Anything sweet, including fruits and anything heavy in fat will cause your blood sugar to be elevated. How much exercise do you get? That is also vital to helping to keep your sugar under control. ## My blood sugar is 540. I took 15 units of huliman 70/30. What should I do now?

My Sugar Level is 198 on fasting and knee joints are paining too much even Blood Pressures are 90/140.all fingers getting tired ## Are you on any medications to treat these conditions? Do you watch you diet to avoid sugar, salt and fatty foods, as much as possible? According to the NIH, they can all contribute to such medication conditions. Has your doctor diagnosed you as having high blood pressure and/or being diabetic?

My cycle started and it's been 6 days. Tomorrow I will start the sugar pills, can I skip that and start a new pack? Will that stop my cycle? I didn't want to take the sugar pills, I thought that would keep my cycle longer? I have been on for 3 months and this is my first cycle. It skipped 2 periods. What should I do! Please help!!! ## It can be normal to experience irregular cycles for the first 3 months, or so, of taking an oral contraceptive, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, mood changes, headache, and weight changes. Skipping the period week could also cause more irregularities, according to NIH studies. The best thing to do would be to take them, as prescribed, and allow your cycles to occur, as they should, for several months. How are you...

I have started taking Brenda 35 ed - the pack comes with the white tablets which I never take (but in this pack they ask you to start taking the white tablets on the first day of your cycle when you start a new pack) however I didnt do it, I started taking my pill on my first day of the period with an active tablet - (Normally with other pills you are protected straight away) but with this one it says it takes two weeks, I am just very confused. So I took an active tablet on my first day of my period and been taking active tablets for the last week at the same time. As I said I never take the white tablets as they contain sugar and dont find them necessary can someone tell me if I am intermediately protected when taking active tablet first day of the period? ## Hello, Nana! How are you?...

I'm 16 and on Lo Loestrogen FE, I've been on it for probably 9-10 months. My period is always irregular, and last month I had it 10 days early for about 1-3 days and then nothing on the sugar pill days. Now, the following month, my period is currently 2 days late and I'm freaking out. My boyfriend always uses condoms and we check them before throwing out so I know they have never broken. I have bad anxiety and during my last period I was writing 10 IB (very advanced) exams, making me extremely stressed, and the first two days I've expected this period I was on a cadet training weekend which is waking up at 6am and a much much different schedule. I've read these are both things that could mess me up? I have no pregnancy symptoms and have freaked myself out over pregna...

for how long does Jalra 50 bring down the sugar level? can it be taken without doctors prescription? ## Jalra contains the active ingredient Vidagliptin and for better blood sugar control, it's usually taken twice a day, at breakfast and at dinner time. I am not sure if it requires a prescription where you're located, but it does in most countries, since diabetes does require regular medical monitoring. Are there any other questions? You can learn more Vildagliptin details here.
