Experts try to unravel the mystery.  As the number of infections dips sharply in South Africa, and stays relatively low across much of the continent, experts are reaching towards a startling hypothesis. Crowded townships. Poor hygiene. The impossibility of social distancing in communities, where large families often share a single room. Crowded townships. Poor hygiene. The impossibility of social distancing in communities, where large families often share a single room. For months health experts have been warning that living conditions in poor, urban communities across Africa are likely to contribute to a rapid spread of coronavirus. "Population density is such a key factor. If you don't have the ability to social distance, the virus spreads," said Professor Salim Abdool Karim, the head of South Africa's ministerial advis...

9 Signs That Tell You Your Blood Sugar Level Is High

By
Image
          What is  High Blood Sugar? Blood glucose is generally considered too high when it is higher than 130 mg/dl before a meal or higher than 180 mg/dl two hours after the first bite of a meal. However, most of the signs and symptoms of high blood glucose don’t come up until the blood glucose level is higher than 250 mg/dl. Some of the symptoms have a rapid onset, while others require a long period of high blood glucose to appear. It’s important to note that individuals differ in their sensitivity to the effects of high blood glucose: Some people feel symptoms more quickly or more strongly than others. But each sign or symptom has a biological link, or a specific cause behind the effect. Hyperglycemia might be acute or chronic. Acute hyperglycemia lasts only briefly and is usually the result of factors such as a high-carbohydrate meal, a missed dose of medicine, stress, or illness. Chronic hyperglycemia, on the other hand, is a state of long-term elevat...
