Hi I am lakshmi, I am writing after along time, I was also Diagnosed with sugar, last Tuesday only I got to know that in glucose test am having high sugar levels, then my doctor asked me to go for fasting and PP sugar test, today only i got the reports in that everything came normal... thanks to god. But still as I am having family history of diabetics, she told me to avoid rice and potatoes, juices, sweets and chocolates, but she told me to continue with the sugar in take with milk and also told me to go for the same test after every 2 weeks. And she told that we have to monitor baby’s growth regularly, because suddenly the fluids may increase in the womb. I am also so confused and very depressed, and my husband is also not here with me he is out of station , all this month i am staying alone here , and going to work :-( nobody is there to give moral support at least.

Year of school admission
Hi, my son was born in January 2008. My doubt now is his school admission. CBSE needs children to complete 3 years and 6 months for LKG. Is this confirmed? If that is so, the age is calculated as on what date? If it is by June 1st, then our kids will miss out by a few days. That is still allright as many people nowadays believe it is good to join kids in LKG as late as... - Sujani [View Message]
