Why do I see flashes of light when I go to bed? What is the explaination for this?
Q. Whenever I go to bed, I would always hear tapping sounds from across my room. Everynight I see minor flashes of light when my eyes are closed accompanied by a tapping sound. The everynight flashes last only less than a second. There were three times when the light was really bright. The first big one was the longest, probably lasting 3 to 4 seconds. I really thought that someone was shinning a flashlight in my eyes but when no one said anything I got scared and kept my eyes closed. The second time I heard a really loud tap from my table and then a bright light around 2 seconds. The third time was around one second but it was really bright. I opened my eyes but there was nothing there. One time I actually heard someone clap in my room but there was no one there. I'm sure it wasn't from anywhere else. I don't know if it' me or something else, I just want to know the truth. This probably isn't the best section to ask but I want answers from intelligent people.
alot of the answers explain the light but what about the sounds? its not a coincidence that they both happens at the same time. If there is a name for this, it would really help me to know the name.

what is the normal level of blood glucose for a diabetic?
Q. the person has type 2 diabitis
A. For a fasting reading, it's the same as it is for a normal person... 80 to 110 mg/dl
These discrepancies you're seeing in the different answers have to do with whether you're talking plasma glucose, whole blood glucose, and where you get your information from. Also, Canada and the UK use mmol/l where you divide our mg/dl by 18 to find 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/l
Most accepted authorities are saying 80 to 110. Below 70 (3.9) is considered low by just about every standard in existence. Above 120 (6.7) is considered high by just about every standard in existence.

Canadian injection for diabetis?
Q. I heard today there is an injection given directly into the pancreas in Canada which has 95% cure rate for adult onset diabitis. Is this true? Who can I contact for more information and/or appointment?
A. Sorry to say, but Tamarak is correct. Unfortunately you have heard a bit incorrectly. The "Edmonton Protocol" is a treatment for only those with TYPE 1 diabetes, the rare severe form that is not preventable and often first occurs in childhood (i.e. juvenile diabetes).
Due to the fact that there is a shortage of donors, a poor success rate, and the fact that the recipient must take toxic drugs that cause cancer (the average recipient dies within 10 years of the transplant, and the transplants often fail within 1 year leaving the person back on insulin), this procedure is only for those who have unexpected repeated blackouts and seizures from unstable Type 1 diabetes. That is, their diabetes is SEVERELY immediately life-threatening.
Some of these people will just pass out without warning and will have a seizure.
Because Type 2 diabetes ("adult onset") is linked to poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise in 90% of cases, and can be treated well in most cases with lifestyle changes and medication, this is not considered a viable treatment for Type 2 diabetes.
Also, since Type 2 diabetics have insulin resistance and are often overweight, they will need much more donor tissue than a Type 1 diabetic ever would. Since there is already a shortage of donor islets, there is virtually no chance that the millions of Type 2 diabetics would ever be treated using this particular method.
If you insist, here is the contact information:

Note that you have to be a Canadian Type 1 diabetic, and below a certain body weight.
