today morning there was a tiny drop of blood which was clotted and it sticking on my left bottom eyelid between eyelashes. is this a disease symptom?

No: Without any other symptoms it would be difficult to diagnose. Any nosebleed could reflux blood to the inside corner of the eyelid. If it happens again take a picture of it and get it checked.

Probably not: Sounds like you may have scratched yourself without realizing it. It should go away. If not, see someone.

Is it possible for one to fake a high fasting blood sugar level?

With fingersticks: If the hands and fingers aren't clean and dry, home blood sugar readings may be inaccurate. Sugar on the fingers could end up falsely elevating blood sugar. A concomitant venous sample in lab could demonstrate a discrepancy. Also, the meter may be inaccurate. Eating before a fasting blood sugar may raise the blood sugar in someone with diabetes because it would not be fasting anymore.

Can l-arginine lower blood pressure & if so what is recommended dosage?

Dr. Ralph Morgan Lewisanswered

Possibly beneficial: In some people. Arginine is converted to nitric oxide, which has a relaxing effect on blood vessels & can thus reduce blood pressure somewhat. No standardized dose has been recommended. Be advised that arginine can also trigger or worsen viral infections like herpes. Discuss this supplement with your doc before taking it.

These days my wife is seeing flashes in one eye occasionally.?

See an eye doctor: Most of the time, flashes of light are related either to floaters (changes to the gel that fills the back of the eye), our less commonly migraines. If the flashes last for more than a day, or if there is a decrease in vision as well, see an eye doctor right away.
