I am 30 years my hb1ac is 6.4 is maintaining diet and walking 5 kms enough to reverse it

Ans: Hello Shenaa,

Following a proper diet and walking 5 km daily is a positive start, but it alone may not be enough to reverse the condition. To effectively manage and potentially improve it, focus on creating a calorie deficit, following a low-carbohydrate diet, and incorporating regular exercise. Along with walking, adding resistance training can enhance metabolic health and yield better results.

It’s also essential to seek guidance from a physiotherapist to develop a safe and effective exercise plan and consult a nutritionist for a tailored diet strategy. A combination of these efforts will help you achieve your goals more efficiently.

MY AGR 67 MY HbA1c is 6.9 which is 3 month back is 7.9 , by diet control can I reduce it to 6.4. what food i have to avoid for this purpose

Ans: Effective diet control for diabetes will include complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and dals. Foods to avoid include simple carbohydrates, which are processed, such as sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries, and namkeens. Starchy or root vegetables should be eaten in moderation along with other fiber rich veggies. Have salads with each meal to balance sugar levels. High glycemic index foods should be restricted. These foods raise sugar levels very quickly.

Sir I am arushi I have got 96.21 percentile in jee mains and ews rank 8083 crl - 57404 home state up Will there are chances to get nit/ iiits Cse/ece/ electrical branch. Also how is production and industrial engineering at mnnit Allahabad . Minning engineering at nit rourkela or at nit surathkal is best. Integrated msc in mathematics at nit rourkela should i take it ?

Ans: Hello Arushi
(1) You might have a better chance of getting lower-tier NITs and several IIITs for branches like ECE or Electrical, but getting CSE in top NITs can be challenging. (2) Consider IIITs such as Nagpur, Pune, or other lower-tier IIITs for CSE. Production & Industrial Engineering at MNNIT Allahabad is strong. (3) Mining at Surathkal is generally regarded as better. The integrated MSc Mathematics at NIT Rourkela is academically valuable but has limited core placements, so choose it only if you’re interested in higher studies or research.

Good luck.
