Hi madam. I am 47 years old having type 2 diabetes from around 10 years. My PP sugar comes 210-230 and fasting comes around 160-180. I am taking Alsita-mp at night, glycomet trio 2/0.3 in morning. I have medium diet and moderate daily activities with seating 5-6 hrs job. I take dinner at 7.30 doing yoga as well from last 2 months but no improvement. Should I move to insulin are they safe or is there anything I can try to reverse the diabetes.

Ans: Managing type 2 diabetes can be challenging, but it’s great that you’re actively working on it with medication, diet, and exercise. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular physical activity is crucial. Since you’ve been doing yoga, you might also consider incorporating other forms of exercise like walking or strengthening exercises and aim at losing fat mass. Many people with type 2 diabetes use insulin to achieve better control. However, it’s important to work closely with your doctor to determine if this is the ideal treatment for your condition.

I am 33 old female IT engg. I started preparing for govt exam right after graduation but didn't able to clear single one. During this course, also i got married but now i want to start a career but i am clueless which field i should start because of such huge gap. Please guide me

Ans: First be familiar with the changes which crept into the IT industry during the time of your gap, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the present pace. Secondly stop searching for govt. jobs. IT future lies in private only. One very good suggestion is there. Pursue 2 years online MBA in IT. It will cover many things which are presently in the market. Have 1/2 certificate course of AI & Machine Learning immediately and start applying for new jobs. I guarantee you will get good placement.

My daughter is going to be graduated by next year in Electronic and communication engineering (ECE). Is there any good opportunity for job or should she continue her higher study? We are in a great confusion seeing this day by day fall down of job opportunity. Please help.

Ans: If the financial condition permits let her go for MS from a reputed university of USA. She needs good GRE SCORE, TOEFL score around 105-110, three good recommendations from her professor, a sloid SOP (statement of purpose) and approximately a funding between 80 lakhs to 1 crore. Don't lose hope and never discuss negative things in front of your daughter, it will affect her mental set up and enhance her anxiety. Everything will be OK. Just be in touch with me.

Hi sir, This is Naresh. I'm completed my diploma in civil engineering in 2016. After that I started my career as a structural cad engineer. Since 7 years I'm working as a professional engineer. I'm married. But actual my goal is in want become a structural design engineer. I stuck in my career. My salary also not growing as per the market. How can I get my degree in civil engineering field. And also I'm unable to quite my job. I want to grow in my career.Please guide me

Ans: Unless you go for BE (Civil) and M.Tech Structures you can't be an officially recognized Structural Engineer. But the present condition won't allow you to do BE (Civil) and M.Tech (Structures) by leaving you job and you are married too. So I would suggest you to appear for the AMIE exam. It is hard, but at least the scope is there. After completing AMIE you will be equivalent to BE ( Civil). After that even if you don't go for M.Tech it will not create any problem. Because AMIE with such a big experience will help you to stand as a sound structural engineer in the market. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU.

If i am studing diploma in civil engineering after that can i do B.Tech in Computer science

Ans: You can do, but for that again you have to do a diploma in Computer Science. You can't go directly from Civil to Computer in India. Otherwise you have to clear 11th and 12th Science (I am assuming you joined diploma after Xth Standard) and take fresh admission in Computer Science. But it will be a great loss of time. The best way is to do online BBA. It will give you graduation ( though for BBA 12th pass is essential) and after BBA you can do some good certificate course from institute like INTELLIPAAT which gives standard certificate in Data Science and Machine Learning (a need of the day) in Collaboration with IIT- Chennai/IIT- Roorkee. It will create a path for you to go in the stream of computer science. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...........................:)
