One group of Syrian refugees climbed over and under a razor wire fence â with small children and an elderly woman â in order to evade the Hungarian police and thereby have a chance at quickly passing through the country.
They all used the Dexcom system. After taking 1000 mg of acetaminophen, the subjects performed finger-stick blood glucose checks at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours. There were significant differences between the CGM and meter readings (P < .01) for the entire 8-hour period.
Acetaminophen is easier on the stomach than NSAIDs, but has its own set of problems. Acetaminophen can damage the liver. The safe upper limit of normal is 3,250 milligrams (mg) a day â about 10 regular-strength acetaminophen tablets, but that might be too much for some people. Large doses are the main risk, but there are reports of people developing liver problems after taking small to moderate amounts of acetaminophen for long periods of time. Drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen can also cause liver damage. Acetaminophen is an ingredient in many over-the-counter cold and headache medications. Some people may be taking more of the drug than they realize because of these hidden sources.
