Does milk raise blood sugar?

Any food or drink other than water has some effect on the blood sugar level, yes. Yes, milk does raise the blood sugar level because it contains lactose which is milk sugar. It also contains protein though, which will slow down the digestion of lactose. Also depending on the fat content, since milk is from an animal and the fat is saturated, it could speed up the digestion of the milk. Just remember, the three things that will slow down the digestion and thus the amount of sugar in the blood are protein, fiber, and fat (only if the fat is either mono or polyunsaturated.)

Does DXM show up in a blood test?

DXM can possibly show up in a blood test if they are testing you for it specifically. Any drug or chemical can be tested for if the people know what they are looking for. Now, is it most likely going to get you in trouble because they find out you used DXM? Most likely not. The reason for this is because DXM isn't on a blood test more than likely as it is not really considered to be a "serious drug of abuse". So i wouldn't worry about DXM showing up in a drug test. However, supposedly it is possible to give a false negative of PCP, but that isn't confirmed as far as i know.

Hemoglobin level is 6.7 how dangerous is this?

Well it is certainly not good! Normal hemoglobin values range from 12-16 for females and from 14-18 for males. My husband just had a gastrointestinal bleed, and when his hemoglobin level dipped below 9, they transfused him. His original level upon admittance was 5.8, and he had 8 units of blood before they could get him up above the "9" that they required before they would let him go home. So...you need some iron! I'd def. call the doc about this one...not anything to play around with.

What is the symbol for brothers?

That depends on the what you mean, do you mean brothers as siblings, or the company brothers, or one of the movies titled 'brothers'?

I do not think there is an universal symbol for brothers (siblings). One could use a chinese (or other language that uses symbols) word as symbol. Or you could make up your own. If I would make a symbol for brothers, I might use two stick-figures, slightly different heights, side-by-side both having one hand on the other ones shoulder. Maybe a red blood-drop as an envelop around them, or someway connecting them, perhaps red tie around their interlocking hands?.

I see some people use two stick figures in a boat. But I think that refers more to fishermen than brothers.

Any other logo or symbol can be found using google. Just type: Brothers logo
