Article: As a fire sign and the first in the zodiac, Aries are known for being bold, tireless and aggressive. Aries are headstrong, can talk a mile a minute, and prefer to be doing rather than sitting. Dating an Aries means that you'll have your work cut out for you, and you should be prepared to be as energetic and agreeable as it takes to keep both of you interested. Dating an Aries may not be for the faint of heart. Between the rapid fluctuations in mood, the impulsive decision-making and the natural intensity of their personalities, they may sometimes be overwhelming to handle. You can have a lot of fun dating an Aries because of their adventurous spirits. Don't be resistant to going new places and trying new things. You'll be given a chance to enjoy opportunities that you might not have otherwise experienced on your own. Aries are born leaders and will assert themselves in leadership roles whenever possible. This goes for relationships, as well. If an Aries isn't allowed to call the shots, they'll begin to get anxious and resent the restriction, as this is literally in opposition to their nature. While all relationships should consider both partners' feelings, it's okay to let an Aries take the reigns. It's where they feel most comfortable. Letting an Aries handle the planning aspects of dating can do you both a favor if you're not good at making decisions. While it's one thing to give your Aries partner control of day-to-day sorts of details, you should both be on equal footing in the relationship. Never content to simply sit and luxuriate, Aries signs are fiercely driven and competitive and will jump at the chance to prove themselves. This means that your relationship will be punctuated by thrilling and unusual dates and activities. Rather than a relaxing night out at the movies, you can expect an Aries to want to take you dancing, be in attendance at rousing events and even plan adrenaline-charged outings like rock climbing and skydiving. If you want to date an Aries, you should get used to the idea of adventure. In general, you should try to be agreeable to your Aries date's zany ideas, but don't be afraid to let them know when something is a little too far out of your comfort zone. Planning only goes so far with an Aries. While it's important for them to make and keep a schedule, most Aries men and women will prefer to take things at the spur of the moment, as this is more appealing to their thrill-seeking character than adhering to a strict calendar. Your Aries date might come up with outrageous date ideas at a moment's notice, and you should be ready to show the willingness to go along with them. If you're the kind of person that finds it draining to constantly be spontaneous, try to work out a balance between mutually agreed-upon plans that the two of you stick to and more on-the-fly sorts of activities.

Try to keep up with them. Let them take the lead. Enjoy challenging activities together. Be spontaneous.
Article: Hypoglycemic drugs act by increasing the uptake (or absorption) of sugar from the blood. A commonly prescribed hypoglycemic medication is Metformin. The usual dosage is generally between 500 mg and 1 gram once or twice a day depending on your blood sugar levels. Metformin is the most commonly prescribed medication in diabetic patients. When you reduce your cholesterol levels, you also reduce your chances of developing hypertension (high blood pressure) that can lead to kidney disease. If you already have high blood pressure, you are generally advised to keep your cholesterol levels under 4.0 mmol/l. Doctors commonly prescribe a statin called atorvastatin. The dosage is normally 10 to 80 mg a day, depending on your cholesterol levels. You can also use red rice yeast which contains the same active ingredient as statins. Your doctor may also put you on other cholesterol medications like fish oil depending on your cholesterol numbers. This drug works by reducing a chemical called angiotensin that is found in the blood. Angiotensin makes the blood vessels in your kidneys constrict, which makes you develop high blood pressure. When you take angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, your blood vessels can relax, which lowers your blood pressure. A commonly prescribed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor is lisinopril. The normal dose is between 5 and 20 mg a day depending on your blood pressure. In addition to lowering blood pressure, this class of drugs (the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) also has a "protective effect" on the kidneys, so the benefits are multiple. These drugs stimulate your beta cells' release of insulin from the pancreas. They also increase the number of insulin receptors and make your body's insulin mediated glucose transportation more efficient. The most commonly used sulfonylureas include: Chlorpromazine (an oral tablet given at 150 to 250 mg per day). Tolazamide (Tolinase: an oral tablet given at 100 to 250 mg/day at weekly intervals). Tolbutamide (Orinase: an oral tablet given at 250 mg to 2g per day). Glyburide (Diabeta or Micronase: given orally at 1.25 to 20 mg per day). Glipizide (Glucotrol: given orally at 5 mg per day). This type of medication is only active in the presence of insulin. It is generally prescribed when other medications have not worked to get your blood sugar levels to the level they need to be at. Rosiglitazone (Avandia) is an example of a thiazolidinedione generally given initially at 4 mg per day or may be divided every 12 hours. These medications are only occasionally used and are not necessary for all diabetics. If you are already experiencing kidney failure, you can talk to your doctor about preparing for dialysis in the future, hopefully years from now. Dialysis involves diverting your blood to a special machine that helps to remove the waste products in your blood while preserving the salt and water to keep you functioning properly.

Gas can make your stomach feel rumbly, too. Passing gas can come in the form of flatulence or belching. When you eat dairy, you may notice that your stomach complains about it, literally. It might make noises as it's trying to digest the lactose in the milk and can't. Sometimes, it may sound like your hungry, for instance, even if you just ate. It can sound like gurgles and pops. Because your stomach is having trouble digesting the lactose, it might hurt some. For instance, you might feel sick to your stomach or feel heavy cramping in the area. You might just feel a bit queasy, too, like you don't really want to eat. Cramping feels like someone is squeezing your muscles, and it is painful. Diarrhea, or loose stools, is more common. If you find yourself running to the bathroom more after eating dairy, that could be a sign of lactose intolerance. However, you may also have instances of vomiting. Basically, any kind of stomach discomfort could indicate lactose intolerance. Of course, you should be looking for these symptoms specifically after eating dairy products.
