Question : Blood sugar reading for a 70 year old diabetic?
My father is a 70 old year diabetic. Recently he took a blood test. His fasting blood sugar is 120. His one hour blood sugar is 196. Is this too high? Can some one suggest what can be done to reduce blood sugar? He is a strict vegetarian. What diet should he follow?
diet to reduce blood sugar
Best answer:
Answer by AnJa
One thing about meat is that it contains both protein and fat.
Protein and fat help to slow the digestive process, resulting in a much slower rate of sugars released or entering into the bloodstream. Slow sugar release into the bloodstream eliminates or reduce the sugar spikes.
Fibre also assists in slowing the digestive process.
Now your father is a vegetarian and therefore lack sufficient protein and fat in the diet to assist with this. He must increase his vegetable protein (tofu and Soya) as well as increase his fibre intake.
Of course exercise does help in lowering blood sugar levels. At his age this might not be possible, but some activities like walking will be benificial.

What is a good name for a medical equipment company?

Question : What is a good name for a medical equipment company?
We are starting a new medical equipment company that will cater to price conscious buyers of diagnostic equipment such as ECG and ultrasound machines. Our products will be the best coming from China and we will also sell good refurbished or 2nd hand equipment. We will not be selling low quality equipment.
Our target customers are owners of small diagnostic companies and doctors who use the equipment in their own clinics. Hence, we are going direct to decision makers who are at the same time the users of the same equipment. We are NOT going to address high-end markets such as medical centers where the buying process is complex.
We do not like to advertise China-made or refurbished in our name. We want our customers look at the quality first. Hence, Quality, Value for Money, Professional Service is our main focus and hopefully seen clearly in the name.

Question : Bulimia made me meaner?
So I have Bulimia and went to a Rehab center for eating disorders and I stopped purging (purging & restricting meals) but before I went to the Center place When i would purge it gave me a Temporary Numb-Satisfaction feeling with myself like I was Okay with being “me” for a while. But now hat I’ve stop purging Now I am so miserable with my self I am so uncomfortable inside ( && I know I could always start re-purging but I don’t want to go back to the Rehab center place thats what’s keeping me from doing it). And now my mom is always trying to understand or whatever and then I snap at her and fuss and yell at her but I don’t mean to do it on purpose. I have a really great mom but I am so mean to her ever since I started doing all this. && when I snap at her and make her feel bad but really it cause i feel bad about myself.
&& I know this is a weird question but how do I stop it? && I know that I can’t blame it on Bulimia… but please tell me how to stop.
Thanks.

Answer by Red Ant
You need to figure out what it is that’s really bothering you. I mean what is bothering you to the point of being bulimic? Being mean and snapping at your mother are only “side effects” and acting out. Figure out what it is you hate about yourself and start working on that.

Answer by Blair A
using Newtons 2nd law of motion we find that F(unbalanced) = ma
Weight = mg
mass = weight/gravitational field strength
mass = 867/9.81(assuming hes on earth)
mass = 88.4kg.
F(unbalanced) = 991 – 867 = 124 N
124 = 88.4 x a
a = 1.4 m/s/s
same again for part b)
mass = 88.4kg
Fub = 683 – 867 = -184 (- implies direction)
a = -2m/s/s or deceleration by 2 m/s/s whatever u want
Cheers

Question : Help getting False DUI off my record. Sorry so long But I need help?
Long story. 5 years ago in Utah I made a left turn to fast at 7am a and high centered my car imidiatly 3 cops were there searching my car doing the breathalizer and all that stuff, couldn’t find anything so took me to the hospital for a blood test ’cause I take meds at night Whoopie big deal. anyway. on the court date I was in the state hostpital and they had a warrent for my arrest. they made a deal that if I went to florida to an eating disorder clinic they would drop everything. Well I did and they didn’t. I moved back home to Georgia. Well now I am back here in Utah and tried to get my liscence renewed and can’t unless I pay a $ 200 fee because I have a DUI. WTF. they will not reopen my case and the funny thing is that the lady I talked to in the courts told me they have on record that my sister spoke with them way back when that I was going into a drug treatment program and that’s why they were dropping it. LOL THat’s news to me. I don’t drink or do drugs.
They won’t repoen the case so I’m screwed there and I called the DMV and they won’t let me do anything so I’m stuck with a DUI on my record and that is sooo embarrassing. What can I do? Please help. Anything I can do? I’m desperate. How can they do this to people? Those police were just bord that morning and wanted someone to mess with.
Sorry. the results on the test were negative. I do not drink or do drugs.
also my meds do not and never have affected my driveing, I had been taking them for years.
I know I’m getting some great help from people. I hate that you can only pick one best answer. Thank you again.

One thing you did NOT mention was the results on the test for drugs/alcohol.
I would say that if it was positive and you do NOT have proof that they were going to dismiss the ticket, it will remain on your record. The courts WILL have proof.
