QUES ANSW MEDICAL 08-2022-06 Dear friends, These are informationcompiled as QA by me in 1998’s-2014’s and stored in my computer. They areposted by very learnt doctors inkidshealth.org etc.
Many improvements have come in medical field. Hence some information may have additions or some times changes. These are for general information, andfor any health problem one has to consult doctor. BEING COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS. Sincerely, R. Gopalakrishnan, 78, dated 08-08-2022 Q1 What is an oral glucose tolerance test? A1 An oral glucose tolerance test measures your body's response to sugar.First your fasting blood sugar level is measured.Then you drink a sugary solution. Your blood sugar level is measured after onehour and again after two hours. If your blood sugar level rises more thannormal, you may have diabetes. A normal blood sugar level after an oralglucose tolerance test is lower than 140 mg/dL. Q2 What isGlycated hemoglobin (A1C) test? A2 An A1C test, also known as a glycated hemoglobintest, isn't used for diagnosing prediabetes or diabetes. Instead,it gauges how well you're managing your diabetes. Unlike a fasting blood glucose test or a dailyfinger stick, both of which measure your blood sugar level at a given time, theA1C test reflects your average blood sugar level forthe past two to three months. Test results show what percentage of your hemoglobin — aprotein found in red blood cells — is sugar coated (glycated). What's normal? The normalrange for people without diabetes is 4 percent to 6 percent. An A1C level lower than 7 percent is a common target for people with diabetes The normal range for A1C results may vary somewhatamong labs. If you consult a new doctor or use a different lab, it's importantto consider this possible variation when interpreting your test results. My note- Presentday studies state HB1AC is still higher with many having PP normal. This isbecause highblood sugar carried over from morning. Theadjustment of a night insulin can reduce HB1AC drastically by increasing nightinsulin with people taking insulin. Consult doctor for more details. Ihad my HB1AC reduced to about normal byadjusting my night extra insulin before bed time Q3 Is it dangerousto turn on A/C immediately as soon asyou enter the car? A3 Yes.Open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON the air-conditioning immediately. According to aresearch done, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emits Benzene , a Cancercausing toxin (carcinogen-take note of the heated plastic smell in your car). In addition tocausing cancer, it poisons your bones,causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells . Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing therisk of cancer may also cause miscarriage. AcceptableBenzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mgof Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level ... & the people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of thetoxins. It is recommendedthat you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is atoxin that affects your kidney andliver, and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff. Q4 When do type 2diabetics occur? A4 Type 2diabetes occurswhen the body stops producing enough insulin forit to function properly, or when the body's cells do not reactto insulin. This is calledinsulin resistance. However, patients who developed diabetes showed arapid acceleration in both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels startingthree years before they were diagnosed with the condition. My note- There can be external insulinrejection also after many years of taking insulin.This can beabove 15-20 years, after synthetic insulin has been used. The next treatment is dialysis. Q5 Do pomegranatejuice is good to prevent prostatecancer? A5.Pomegranatejuice could help prevent prostate cancer recurrence, finds a new study."This study suggests that pomegranate juice may effectivelyslow the progression of prostate cancer after unsuccessful treatment,"said Dr Christopher Amling, an AUA spokesman. Q6 Do cabbage is asubstitute to viagra? A6"Theknowledge collected at King’s College shows pickled cabbageis the best natural Viagra. It may be hard to believe thatsaurkraut is one of most powerful aphrodisiacs, but the British data isconclusive." "I can only suggest all men try it. Eat cabbagetwice a day and observe how your sexual power increases." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
