I have Type II Diabetes. What is the range of sugar counts I should try to stay within? When I wake up my sugar is anywhere from 94 to 123. 2 hours after my breakfast and Metform (I take that right after my breakfast) my sugar runs 111 to 125. I noticed after I had a piece of apple strudle around 7:00 at bedtime 10:00 my sugar was 193. The next morning my fasting sugar was 140. Can you help explain this to me?

My brother is very ill with a variety of symptoms including right chest pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and swollen lymph nodes. He has been suffering for over a year with chronic sinus problems, right chest pain, and right arm weakness. He recently had nasal surgery for polyps and deformed sinuses. The serious pain started about 6 to 8 weeks ago, and they removed his appendix due to inflammation seen on a CT scan. He has had swollen lymph nodes in his intestines and throat area, but no smoking, heartburn, or fever currently. What could be causing his symptoms, and what further tests should be done?

I am under a lot of stress and experiencing dry heaves, occasional traces of blood in my spit, and constant tiredness. I work the overnight shift and feel like I want to heave after stressful events. Eating a slice of bread or chewing an antacid sometimes relieves the feeling, but I do not have stomach pains. Do I have the start of a peptic ulcer, or is it just nerves, or is it acid reflux? Besides losing weight, what else can I do to help myself?

I have a bump on my right testicle that is not painful but feels odd when touched, and I have been feeling tired lately. Is there a possibility that it could be cancerous?
