Ans: Please monitor blood sugar levels for fasting, 2 hr after breakfast, pre lunch and pre dinner. The medicines can be adjusted accordingly. If you have this HbA1c with these medicines, then either including more antidiabetic medicines or insulin will help.

Hb1ac level 6.4 is high ? If high how to decrease?

Ans: A HbA1c level of 6.4 indicates prediabetes. Prediabetes means you have a higher than normal blood sugar level. It's not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes yet. Thus, you need to take immediate action in lowering your blood sugar levels by lifestyle modifications. Follow a diet rich in complex carbohydrate foods like whole grains, fruits , vegetables, etc., good protein sources like low fat dairy products, lean meat, pulses and legumes, etc. and low fats. Make sure to avoid sweets, alcohol, cakes, while bread, cookies, chocolates, etc. Follow portion control and a regular exercise schedule.

Question by Shenaa - Sep 10, 2024Hindi

Health

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.

At 25, I have inherited 10-12 crore INR worth of real estate assets in Tamilnadu. I have a master's degree in finance and have a plan to create a well-diversified portfolio, potentially aiming to retire at 35 (I know this is too young, but I would like to spend the rest of my life chasing my real purpose rather than work a 9-5). What do you suggest I do with all my assets?

Ans: Hello;

Is the property in the form of land or commercial/residential units which may generate rental income?

Please update so as to provide suitable feedback.

I have obc ncl certificate of state but for aiq in neet does it will help

Ans: Hello Meenakshi
For the All India Quota (AIQ) in NEET, only the central OBC-NCL list is considered. If your OBC-NCL certificate is from your state but your caste is not in the central OBC list, then it will not be valid for AIQ reservations. If your caste is in both the state and central OBC lists, apply for a central OBC-NCL certificate to use it for AIQ in NEET.
