I'm 40 and my fasting sugar levels are usually around 110. I'm really committed to both intense cardio and strength workouts, and I'm sticking to a low-carb and low-fat diet. I'm really hoping to get my fasting sugar down into the 90s. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could do to achieve that?

Maintain healthy life style and get yourself checked regularly for any underlying disease and appropriate management.

So, I've been advised to take a B12 injection weekly for six weeks and then once a month for the next six months. I'm just wondering, is there a specific time of day that's best to get these injections? Also, I'm currently taking Zitten 20mg in the morning for diabetes and Razel 5mg at night. Should I be concerned about any side effects or interactions with these medications?

Masturbation Frequency and Infertility_ Masturbating 2-3 times a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency. Research suggests that masturbation has no direct link to infertility. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) states that "masturbation does not affect fertility." _Sperm Count and Semen Analysis_ If you're concerned about your fertility, consider consulting a urologist or an andrologist for a semen analysis. This test evaluates: 1. Sperm count (concentration) 2. Sperm motility (movement) 3. Sperm morphology (shape) 4. Semen volume 5. pH levels A semen analysis can help identify potential issues, but it's essential to note that: - Sperm count can fluctuate due to various factors, such as stress, temperature, and frequency of ejaculation. - A single semen analysis may not provide a complete picture of your fertility. To ensure accurate results, follow these guidelines: 1. Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test. 2. Provide a fresh semen sample. 3. Repeat the test after 2-3 months to confirm results.
