I’m not diabetic or overweight, and I do my best to eat a healthy diet. However, the one BIG risk factor I have is that my father has it, and it tends to run in my family.

I’ve had normal BS levels as long as I could remember now, and so far have had no symptoms. I monitor my fasting blood sugar on my own about every month or two(using my father’s equipment) and get it checked during my annual physical. Is this enough to monitor it properly, or am I doing something wrong?

Also, any advice on delaying the onset of diabetes as far as I can? I’m already trying to be active, keeping my weight in check and eating healthy, but is there anything else I can do? I plan on enlisting in the military in a few years, so I need to be in my top condition.

62 year old needs health insurance in California. She has type 2 diabetes which has been under control for several years. However, she is ready to retire because no company will hire her.

How can she find health insurance?

Is it possible? I don’t want to have to spend around 150 bucks just to see a doctor and have him tell me something I already know. And how do antibiotics differ? Are the doses different for the case? Or do they give you less or more pills depending on what your illness is?

eg. anti viral soap, anti viral tablets – what brands
Can these be bought in chemists, is a script required?

my doctor prescribed me anti fungal cream for what she diagnosed as a form of yeast infection. I have been using it for 4 days and my symptoms are not getting better yet. It might be my imagination, but it even seems that the itch is getting worse.

Has anyone been prescribed an anti fungal cream for yeast infection and/or jock itch, and if so, how long did it take for you to see a noticeable difference in your symptoms?

Hey, I was wondering if I could get some help with a deworming schedule. I’ve tried reading about it online but most of it doesnt make sense or seems conflicting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dewormed Jazz today with Zimecterin® GOLD which contains 1.55% Ivermectin and 7.75% praziquantel. I was planning on deworming him next with Panacur® Paste 10% which contains the anthelmintic and 10% fenbendazole. Is that ok? Do I need to go to something with Pyrantel Pamoate (STRONGID® Paste) or (Oxibendazole) ANTHELCIDE® EQ? Or can I go back to the Zimecterin Gold? How dependent are dewormers on the time of year? It seems like Zimecterin Gold is a once a year for bots and tapeworms then fill the rest of the year with the other dewormers. Is that right? When is the next time I can safely deworm. I couldn’t find anywhere that said whether the Zimecterin Gold was a 8-10 or 10-12 week dewormer.

A vet recommended Zimecterin Gold origionally which is why I got that in the first place. Now I’m not so sure what to do or if that was right?

Thanks
Katie
That doesn’t really work though because horses get there feet done about every 4-6 weeks. Dewormers, depending on the brand and active ingredient, can cover 4-6 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 8-10 weeks, or 10-12 weeks.

My doctor told me I have reactive airway disease and not asthma. What is the difference?
