I am 61 years old. I regularly get my Cholesterol and Uric Acid checked. For last 2 years the results are almost same. My UA is 7.40mg/DL & Cholesterol is 228 md/DL. I do not have any side effects. I do daily exercises and also try to restrict the diet. Please advice what all things I should do to control these the readings as the results are not varying.

Ans: Maintaining consistency in diet control and adapting lifestyle modifications is the key to a healthy body. For controlling cholesterol levels, follow a diet rich in fiber which acts as a scavenger to remove accumulated cholesterol in the blood vessels. Thus include fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your daily diet. Inclusion omega 3 fatty acids that help in lowering LDL is helpful. Concentrated foods like sweets, chocolate cakes, pastries, ice creams and fried foods should be avoided. Animal foods, should be restricted in quantity. For lowering blood uric acid levels, avoid meats such as organ meat, seafood and high fructose foods or sweetbreads, which have high purine levels and contribute to high blood levels of uric acid. Limit the intake of vegetables with moderate purine content such as spinach, cauliflower and mushrooms.

Ans: Powdered milk can be a suitable option for diabetics, especially if it’s a diabetes-friendly milk powder. Peanuts are rich in protein, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels but have in moderation due to their calorie content. Coconut flour is high in fiber, slowing down sugar absorption, although have in moderation. Chickpea flour is protein-rich, supporting blood sugar control.

Why pancreas is not able to produce the required insulin after to digest and convert Carbs into Glucose? Is the pancreas is not receiving the right chemicals to produce insulin it the unit inside the pancreas is dead an can not produce insulin? Is there any reseach papers on the functioning of Pancreas. Controlling carbs is based on tge assumption that tge cells gave vecome ibsulin resitant ot the requird insulin is not being produced.

Ans: Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body doesn’t make any insulin. It always requires insulin and often diagnosed as young as 4 to 6 years old. Type 2 Diabetes is an hormonal condition common in adults. The body produces insulin initially, but cells don’t respond to it properly. Type 2 diabetes has common genetic variants identified through GWAS studies, as well as rare variants with varying effects, but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in the body become less responsive to the effects of insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. In conditions like insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes, the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Controlling carbohydrate intake is usually done as the pancreatic cells have become insulin resistant or that the required insulin is not being produced. There are many peer reviewed and scholarly research articles available at databases like google scholar.

My sugar fasting is 225 and post lunch is 302 after 2 hours, when i test my sugar level after 5 to 6 hours it is 120..what is the reason

Ans: Blood sugar levels typically rise after eating (postprandial hyperglycemia) and then gradually decrease as the glucose is absorbed and utilized by the body. A reading of 120 mg/dL after 5 to 6 hours suggests that the body has effectively lowered the blood sugar from the post-meal peak. If you are on insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, the drop in blood sugar could be due to the action of these medications. Follow healthy lifestyle modifications to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Consume foods with a lower glycemic index, which are digested more slowly, include high-fiber foods, particularly soluble fiber found in oats, fruits, and legumes, which can help lower blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity. Eat at regular times and maintain a regular regimen of aerobic and weight training exercises. Avoid sugary and processed foods.

I read about resitant starch. Unde this suga patient can eat pototo afte a delay fom cooking. Because in the delayed eating , digetion of potato takes place in large indestine instead of small. No glucose is produced. Digestion in lage industine helps useful bacteia. Is this peception is right or it has any hidden infomation.

Ans: Resistant starch (RS) is a type of carbohydrate that is not digested in the small intestine but instead ferments in the large intestine. As it ferments, it acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut. When other types of starch are consumed, enzymes in the small intestine break them down into glucose for energy. However, since resistant starch is not digested, the glucose from the food is not rapidly released into the bloodstream, leading to a slower and more gradual impact on blood glucose levels, which can be beneficial for glycemic control.
