I am 50yrs old and never had ED until lately, my wife thinks it may be from taking Lipitor.

NOTE: I am a diabetic 1 and on an insulin pump. I really want to stop taking so many meds and I was wondering if I eat well, can I stop taking them.

Lisinopril is for high blood pressure and Lipitor is for high cholesterol.
ANOTHER NOTE: I, of course, will talk to my doctor so don’t say to talk to my doctor.

In the envelope of mail order prescriptions the bottle says Lyrica and it is supose to be lipitor? Is that a generic name?
Or did they make a mistake?

How accurate are diabetic test strips?

I’ve been recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have been pricking my finger 4times a day for last 3days. My readings were all between 120-160 (1hour after meal) and today after dinner I read 185. Suspicious, I redid it again immediately and it showed 143. These 2 readings were done back to back on the same machine, same test strip etc., This makes me wonder what is the accuracy of these tests. (The brand I used is onetouch)
Yes, 1hour after meals. 4readings a day, the first one is fasting (one we take first thing in the morning after waking up) and 3 readings 1hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The sex was a few weeks ago right around ovulation. It is still too early to take an at home pregnancy test, but I have already experienced one very early symptom, dizziness. I got blood drawn today to test for anemia and many other problems including a thyroid problem. The results won’t be in until Monday, and they will only call if they find something. Could that detect pregnancy this early if at all?

What are some tips while getting a blood test?

I need to get a blood test, and I am really weary about it.
I have never gotten one done before..
I am not afraid of the pain or the blood. But i am VERY afraid of needles, and I usually cry when I have to get a shot or anything to do with needles.
The doctor told me the blood test would not hurt if done right, and that she would give me two anxiety pills right before. What are some tips to help me relax? Will it hurt? Is it all that bad???

I have a fever and cold and my care manual from my educators says to check for ketones even when blood sugar is normal when you are sick. Why is this?

Thanks!

P.S. I checked for ketones and they were negative. :)
