Q1 Whichis more valuable in a blood glucose check, P/P or fasting glucose check? A1 Hesya LismaLives in London(2016–present)March 8 Checking your bloodglucose (sugar) levels at least once a day — many people do it first thing inthe morning — should be part of your overall plan for managing type 2 diabetes.You can use results to better decide what you do next, and how to keep yourblood sugar levels where you and your doctor want them. But if you’re only testing your glucose levels once aday, you’re likely missing the full picture. "Postprandial glucose (PPG) levels — meaning‘sugar after the meal’ — give you and your care team more important informationabout how the body is able to manage glucose after a meal," explainsendocrinologist Pratima Kumar, MD, an assistant professor of endocrinology atthe University of Texas at Austin. “It informs us if the blood glucose has returned to normal after themeal intake.” What Else YouShould Know About Postprandial Glucose “Glucose levels begin to rise about 10 minutes afterthe start of a meal and peak two hours after a meal,” Dr. Kumar says.“The glucose levels [then] return to pre-meal levels within two to threehours.” But PPG numbers don’tjust change based on what you eat. They’re also affected by how active you are,your insulin sensitivity, and how quickly food moves through your stomach, saysKumar. The ADA recommendsthat people with type 2 diabetes keep their PPG under 180 mg/dL. My note- In the earlier years after the onset of Bloodsugar in me, I used to take PP. Hb1ac was not so familiar in 1998’s. It isimportant to follow your doctors guide lines and this QA is just forinformation.

Q5 Canyou be "downgraded" on a flight? A5 Colin Riegels Veteran traveller Tue You can certainlybe bumped if a higherclass is oversold. I was once travelling on a string of long-haulflights, and on my last flight business class had been oversold so they pushedme down to economy. These things happen, and I tried to take it ingood spirits. But when I did losemy sense of humour was after I was told to “sit anywhere”, when I tried to sitin an “extra legroom” seat in economy, and the flight attendant absolutelyrefused to let me sit there because I hadn’t paid for an “extra legroom”ticket. The fact thatI had paid for a business class fare cut zero ice with her. F***ing United. Q6 Whatdo British people think of Sikhs? A6 Bruce Lawson Lives in The UnitedKingdom September 8 25 years ago, Ivisited the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the holiest place for Sikhs. I wentlargely because I’d had a Sikh girlfriend and was interested in the customs. Iam atheist but several things impressed me: there were signs on the walls saying all religions (orthose with none) are welcome to the temple. Our guide (MrSingh, you might meet him if you go) told us there is nowhere in the Templethat is Sikh-only. He also told us that Sikh “priests” should usually be married and have a family,as how could they understand the lives of those they minister to, if they don’t(such a difference from Catholicism). And they put theirmoney where their mouth is: askat any Skih temple for food, or shelter, and you will be given it. Q7 Howdid the original humans survive childbirth and cut the umbilical cord, etc.? A7 Evelyn Allwell mother August 22,2019 The vast majorityof human births throughout history, never mind pre-history, were survived bywomen with no medical assistance. Cutting the cord isnot difficult—they were making spears with sharp edges since very early humanhistory. It’s not a surgical procedure. You just wait till the cord stops pulsing, and then yousever it. The only dangerwould be if you get the cord/stump infected. But early people were no fools.They probably came up with some belief or other that told them to put that stone knife in the firebefore cutting, or to touch the stump with a burning coal or something. Of course, not allwomen or all babies did survive. Ever. Even today. But enough survive to keepus going! Q8 Whatare the reasons to buy rather than build a new house? A8 Jay Cutler Answered 2h ago As new generationscome by, building a private house will begin to lose relevance since most urbanareas where most folks wish to reside are already experiencing a shortage ofland given the various land investors alive . as an example , in Lagos, there are more completedbuildings within the city waiting to be occupied by buyers than theamount of obtainable lands purchasable to intending builders. However, as mostfolks grew up with the normal mentality that you simply need to build a houseto desire a person , it's likely you discover yourself within the dilemma ofwhether to shop for a replacement apartment or build one. Hence, this is oftensupplying you with three cogent reasons why you ought to buy rather thanbuilding a house in Nigeria. Availability of Land In a city likeLagos, the available plots of land are few and are cheaper to wealthy investorswho purchase in large quantities to create multiple houses purchasable . therationale is that purchasing in great quantity comes with some economies ofscale as against buying a unit of land. Hence, those that are ready to affordlarge quantities for investment purposes are given preference over the others.However, you'll find affordable lands purchasable in Lagos by lecture ourcustomer care agents. Time Factor Buying a house alsosaves you the lengthy time required to create a house. Since building a houserequires a extended time to finish , urgent home seekers can save time bypurchasing the available houses for sale in lekki . Hence, it'sadvisable to figure towards buying than building a house. Location Most of theattractive lands in Lagos are dominated by completed but vacant propertieswaiting to be purchased. Such lands are attractive because they're situated onthe brink of most of the businesses and firms where people like to work. as anexample , Lagos Island may be a center of economic activities where manyLagosians work and it's crammed with vacant houses yet to be occupied byprospective buyers. So, if you'd like to enjoy the locational advantage ofliving there (on the island) you'd need to work towards buying rather thanbuilding a house. In fact, as quickerways of solving problems evolve daily, buying a house would surely override thenormal mentality of building houses. Q9 Whatshould you do if you see a tiger in the wild?

These days it’s different Alimony is decided based on the girls income,qualifications and not on a general formula Many wealthier wives in US have to pay alimonyto their husbands (Courteney Cox for example) Even in India -Soundarya Rajinikanth waived alimony rights when asked for Asset &Liability Statement of Mr and Mrs Rajinikanth But Education andAbility to earn only goes so far. If a woman whodoesnt work and says she wants to raise dependent kids and work less - thenmost judges will comply andgive alimony + child support. Amrita Singh is thebest example.
