From where can I get a Basal body temperature thermometer in Navi Mumbai?

I wanted to purchase a Basal body temperature thermometer. From where can I purchase it in Navi Mumbai?

You just need a regular thermometer. It's not a special one. The idea is to record your body temp in the morning - same time everyday - before you get out of bed. I personally would use a digital if you can get it...it's faster. I think the accuracy is fine for the majority of people. Then you record the temp on a chart so you can see the slight drop and then rise that indicates ovulation has occurred.

Good Luck!

What can I feed my diabetic cat?

My 9yr. old male cat was recently diagnosed w/ feline diabetes. The vet said his sugar levels were off the chart. I'm wanting to try and get him on track with diet. My vet prescribed a special diabetic dry food, but all my research says I shouldn't be giving dry food at all. I believe the research, and am planning on substituting 1 meal a day for wet food. Does anyone have any good recipes or store bought foods that they would recommend? And what about treats? I want to give him treats for being a good boy, esp. now that he is having to go through so many stressful changes and procedures.

Be VERY careful with those foods the vets talk you into. Keep in mind that MANY vets are not properly informed on feline nutrition, even though they are indeed informed on medical care... Please read the information on this site, which will open up your eyes about feline food: http://www.catinfo.org/

You are right about dry food. Your cat should probably be on a high quality wet cat food, such as wellness or Innova Evo. That link above will help teach you about the nutrition labels and show you what to look for in quality foods.

I was told that my cat was "getting" diabetes and also had IBS at the same time. He's been healthy since I put him on wet cat food months ago.

Also, before you start on any medication, be sure to consult another vet. A second opinion is always good in a case like this.

drug test for job...?

I took a drug test on wednesday for an internship. The kit came back with false positives on everything (all 10 they were testing for). I tested myself for thc and it came back negative, just to make sure it was a false positive. they sent the results to the lab. I take welbutrin and adderall, will those two trigger the test and make it positive? i wrote on the paper i filled out that i take them.
i dont want them to call me and say they dont want me anymore. i turned down another great job for this.
i do not use drugs.

nothing you have a prescription for will or should prevent your employment. something odd is goin on here with the false positives. even the lab should feel there is something wrong with 14 drug hits, that is way off the charts. get retested, you deserve an explanation.

how can caffeine effect the blood pressure of young people and adults?

i am in 7th grade and this is my science projet of how caffenine effect blood presure.so plese gimme some ideas about it

Caffeine is a mild stimulant found in coffee, tea, chocolate and many soft drinks. Too much caffeine can cause nervousness and jitters. It may also increase your blood pressure. The amount of caffeine in two to three cups of coffee can raise systolic pressure 3 to 14 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and diastolic pressure 4 to 13 mm Hg in people without high blood pressure.

Among people who don't consume caffeine on a regular basis, caffeine can cause a temporary but sharp rise in blood pressure. Exactly what causes this spike in blood pressure is uncertain. Some researchers suggest that caffeine narrows blood vessels by blocking the effects of adenosine, a hormone that helps keep them widened. Caffeine may also stimulate the adrenal gland to release more cortisol and adrenaline, which cause your blood pressure to increase.

Observational studies can be confusing. Some research has found that people who regularly drink caffeine have a higher average blood pressure than those who drink none. Other research has suggested that regular consumers of caffeine develop a tolerance to it — and as a result, caffeine doesn't have a long-term effect on their blood pressure.

In another twist, a 12-year study of 155,000 women found that drinking caffeinated cola may be associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure. However, the same causal relationship was not found with caffeinated coffee. In fact, the study suggested that women who drink caffeinated coffee may actually have a reduced risk of high blood pressure.

Similarly, a recent (2007) study claims that women who drink six cups of caffeinated coffee a day have lower risks of high blood pressure than do women who drink three or fewer cups daily. The same study found that men and women who never drink coffee also have lower risks of high blood pressure.

As a precaution, some doctors recommend limiting caffeine to 200 milligrams a day — about the same amount as in two 12-ounce cups of brewed coffee. Keep in mind that the amount of caffeine in coffee and soft drinks varies by brand. Also, avoid caffeine right before activities that naturally increase your blood pressure, such as exercise, weightlifting or hard physical labor.

To see if caffeine might be raising your blood pressure, check your blood pressure within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee or another caffeinated beverage you regularly consume. If your blood pressure increases by five to 10 points, you may be sensitive to the blood-pressure-raising effects of caffeine. If you plan to reduce your intake of caffeine, do so gradually over several days to a week to avoid withdrawal headaches.

i want someone to paraphrase this for me ?

(Hypnotherapy is widely used to help reduce nicotine cravings and to break drug addictions. It is also common for people to use hypnosis for weight loss and to help overcome phobias such as fear of flying, and to increase self confidence.
It is also used to compliment conventional medicine in diabetes care, pain management, reduction of bleeding in haemophiliacs, to reduce asthma and hay fever attacks, and irritable bowel syndrome.
It won't cure cancer, heart disease or infections but some people may find it effective as pain relief.
Hypnosis has been proven to reduce anxiety, panic disorders, insomnia, especially when it is combined with cognitive behavioural therapy)

Hypnotherapy has been widely used for several medical problems, such as diabetes care, pain management, reduction of bleeding in haemophiliacs, to reduce asthma and hay fever attacks, and irritable bowel syndrome. People have also used hypnotherapy for phobias, addictions and self esteem issues.

Diabetic with kidney problems?

Hi. I'm 16 and a type 1 diabetic for almost 10 years. When I went to get annual blood and urine test, my doctors told me i need to get more test done because there might be something wrong with my kidneys. My test is coming up next week but i am very nervous. I have felt kind of .....off lately. I've been extremely tired, ill sleep 15-19 hours a day, i can't seem to think straight, and i have been peeing a lot. I also heard that you can get a rash when you are having kidney problems, and today i was sent home from school because a rash broke out all over my arm and back. It is itchy and burns. My numbers do run pretty high. Does this sound like i could have kidney problems?

Young lady , you must get blood sugar level in control. Now. Rashes occur frequently in diabetics. All problems you have are related to High sugar levels. In the mean time follow these simple instructions below.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist, located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. Every day, the kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about two quarts of metabolic wastes. The substances the kidneys remove includes the breakdown products of harmful compounds that get into our bodies one way or another. The waste and extra water become urine.

The kidneys are such efficient, compact, and miraculous filters that they put to shame the dialysis machines used to maintain patients with kidney failure. This natural purification system can operate efficiently only if the volume of water flowing through it is sufficient to carry away the wastes. For this reason, dehydration is the greatest threat to the process of blood purification and the most common source of stress on the kidneys. Tobacco smoking (which impairs blood flow to all organs), high blood pressure, excessive consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and other stimulant drugs; uncontrolled high blood sugar, jarring motion as in running or horseback riding; and a high protein diet also can damage the kidneys. The metabolism of protein, especially large quantities of dense animal protein, greatly increases their workload.

tTwo healthy kidneys give us more renal function than we need. Some people are born with only one kidney and lead normal, healthy lives, as do the many people who donate kidneys to relatives or friends. Small declines in kidney function may not cause problems, but sometimes these reductions signify kidney disease that will worsen over time. Serious health problems occur when kidney function falls to 25 percent or less, and only dialysis or a kidney transplant will save people whose kidney function drops below 10 to 15 percent.

The two most important things you can do to protect your kidney function from further decline are to follow a low-protein diet (no more than 10-15 percent of calories from protein), and never allow yourself to become dehydrated. I recommend trying to drink six to eight glasses of fluids daily, water or mostly water in the form of hot or iced caffeine-free teas or mineral water (flavored or unflavored – but not sweetened). You can find tips for reducing the amount of protein in your diet from the National Kidney Foundation at http://www.kidney.org/atoz/atozItem.cfm?id=89.

Take care my friend , waiting on a list for a kidney transplant , is pure terror.
good luck to you!
