I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

My wife is 7 months pregnant and she started vomiting, but then she noticed there was some blood mixed in. Should we be worried about this? Is it a serious issue or something normal during pregnancy?

Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge _Current Status_ 1. _90% healed_: The wound has made significant progress in healing. 2. _Small raw area remaining_: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid. _Fluid Discharge_ 1. _Serous discharge_: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process. 2. _Delayed healing_: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process. _Recommendations_ 1. _Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment_: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN. 2. _Add a topical agent_: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing. 3. _Elevate the affected leg_: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.
