	18101.	I am 48 years-old and recently learned that I have diabetes. I know that my risk of heart attacks is high, and I want to know what I can do to prevent heart disease. Should I be injecting insulin two or three times a day in an attempt to get very "tight" control of my blood sugar?

	18102.	I recently saw a news item about how people who don't spend a lot of time in the deeper stages of sleep are at a greater risk of developing high blood pressure. I have slightly elevated blood pressure, but I do wake up a few times a night. Will poor sleep make it harder to manage my blood pressure?

	18103.	By the way, doctor. I've been on warfarin (Coumadin) since 1979 after having a Starr-Edwards valve put in. The cardiologist insists on aggressive therapy and wants my INR at 3.5. But I've had several serious bleeds in the past year and was hospitalized three times. What's the current thinking about adequate INR levels for patients with metal heart valves?

	18105.	Occasionally, I feel rather strong "flutterings" of pulse low in my neck. It can occur several times within a week or two and then not again for a month or so. I was given a monitor to wear, and it showed nothing that my doctor considered important. However, at 57 this is new for me. Should I still be concerned?

	18106.	I've heard that high-fat foods and alcohol can raise triglyceride levels. I take Lipitor for high cholesterol, don't eat high-fat foods and don't drink alcohol except for half a glass of wine a few times a month. My triglycerides are always high when checked--my last reading was 222. What else can I do to help lower my triglycerides?

	18107.	By the way, doctor... I'm 78 and have more and more difficulty urinating. I get up three times a night - sometimes more - to go to the bathroom and it takes me a while to start urinating and even longer to stop. I know that this is probably a prostate problem, but I don't want to have surgery. What can I do?

	18108.	Ask the doctors. So many times I have read that people with a BMI greater than 25 are overweight. I'm a man 5 feet, 5 inches tall weighing 168 pounds. My BMI is 28. I have a flat stomach. I lift weights and do push-ups and pull-ups. Does the BMI mislead body builders and athletes by saying we are overweight?

	18109.	On call. September 11 was an emotional day for all of us, but September 12 was a confusing day for me. I read two newspapers that reported on research in the New England Journal of Medicine. The New York Times headline said: "Prostate cancer surgery found to cut death risk," but the Washington Post announced: "Studies find no advantage to prostate cancer surgery." Which was right?

	18110.	By the way, doctor. I read your item about eggs in the April 2005 issue with great interest. My husband has type 2 diabetes and has started eating two eggs about three times a week. He's looking to fill up on low-carb foods he likes. You mentioned that eggs may not be a good idea for people with diabetes. Should he cut back?

	18111.	Ask the doctor. In early July, the New York Times Magazine published an article that had good things to say about the Atkins high-protein diet. It also claimed that low-fat diets might be harmful. This shocked many of us who have been following a low-fat diet to reduce our risk from heart disease. Have we been barking up the wrong tree all these years?

	18112.	On call: I am a 71-year-old man with diabetes and high blood pressure. Ever since I can remember, I've been bothered by painful canker sores two or three times a year. My doctor says they aren't caused by my medication and I think he's right, since the cankers started before I developed diabetes. What causes the sores, and what can I do about them?

	18113.	By the way, doctor. I'm 81 and have an enlarged prostate. My urologist checks my prostate three or four times a year with a digital rectal exam and a PSA test. Recently I had blood in my urine. Do you think the digital exam could have caused the bleeding? How often does someone like me need to get a digital rectal exam and a PSA test?

	18114.	Ask the doctor. I try to exercise every day to raise my heart rate. The standard formula of 220 minus age (I'm 79) times 0.9 gives an excessively high target for me. Because my resting heart rate is under 50, I would need to more than double my heart rate to reach a target of 128. Does the standard formula apply to people like me?

	18115.	By the way, doctor. I'm an 86-year-old man with type 2 diabetes. I get my eyes checked, eat carefully, and test my blood sugar. I exercise in the gym three times a week and still play tennis once a week. Recently, I read new studies that say type 2 diabetes may be a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. It scared the heck out of me. What do you think? [electronic resource] by Lee, Thomas H Producer: 20070216 In: Harvard health letter vol. 32 Availability: No items available.

	18116.	Ask the Doctor. I have read in your newsletter that poor dental health can contribute to heart disease. I have always done my best with my teeth, including flossing three times a day, but still have a serious problem with gum recession and have lost a few teeth. I don t have other risk factors for heart disease. Do my dental problems raise my risk for a heart attack?

	18117.	By the way, doctor. I am a 67-year-old woman. I walk three miles five or six times a week and swim for half an hour every day. I take a diuretic for high blood pressure, a calcium supplement, and vitamins C and E. My HDL level is usually over 100, but it was up to 147 in my most recent cholesterol test (my total cholesterol was 223 and my LDL was 68). Should I be celebrating or worried about an unusually high HDL? [electronic resource] by Komaroff, Anthony L Producer: 20041119 In: Harvard health letter vol. 29 Availability: No items available.

	18119.	Ask the doctor. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. My doctor put me on blood thinners for a few weeks and then performed electrical cardioversion. Naturally, I was asleep during the procedure, but I understand that they shocked me twice and both times my heart briefly returned to a normal rhythm. But after a few seconds it went back into atrial fibrillation. NOw my doctor has offered me a choice. I can stay in atrial fibrillation and take a blood thinner for the rest of my life. Or I can try a medication to restore a normal heart rhythm and give cardioversion another try (but I'll probably have to take the antiarrhythmia drug for a long time). Any suggestions?
