I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

View allI'm 17 and I've been wondering about something. I've been masturbating every day and I'm curious if this might be affecting my testosterone levels or the growth of my beard. Could it be having any impact on these things?
Masturbation does not have a direct impact on testosterone levels or beard growth. Testosterone levels are primarily influenced by factors such as age, genetics, overall health, and lifestyle. Similarly, beard growth is mainly determined by genetics and hormonal factors. If you have concerns about testosterone levels or beard growth, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

IME-9 is a legitimate ayurvedic supplement marketed for blood sugar control, manufactured by Charak Pharma; however, its efficacy and safety for diabetes management are not extensively scientifically proven, and it should not replace conventional medical treatment;
