I am 53 years old pre-diabetic A1c level of 60. My fasting level is Julie 128. What's the best routine to lower that I exercise every single day I try to eat healthy not so good what is recommended?

Ans: I am not clear about your reports. HbA1c 60 is not possible. Do you mean 6? I dont want to assume anything. similarly, fasting 128 is diabetic status but I also need to know 2 hr after meal or random blood sugar levels.

Irrespective of parameters, everyone can benefit from 30 to 60 min of moderate intensity physical activity atleats 5 days a week. Everyone can benefit from improved and balanced diet.

Please get detailed investigations done and consult a physician. That would be the first step.

Hello, I am 53 years old. Usually my fasting blood sugar level is around 125 between 128. How do I lower this I exercise every single day I eat probably only once a day.

Ans: Hey, if you want to work on brining down your fasting sugar levels, focus on these things:

1. Make sure your dinner meal is balanced. If you don't have a balanced meals you might see a dip in blood sugar levels in the middle of night which can lead to higher fasting sugars. Include complex carbs, proteins and fibre for sustained release of glucose into blood.

2. make sure you are exercising in the morning. Avoid exercising in the evening or night, since this will sensitise insulin and lead to a dip in blood sugars at night. Which can be a possible reason for higher fasting blood sugar levels.

3. if your dinner is early you can add a bed time snack which is a combination of carb and protein for example: roasted channa with a cup of milk or a cup of milk with nuts & seeds

These are a few reasons we see higher fasting sugars. Find out what is the possible reason for your high fasting sugars and work on it accordingly.

Question by nishtam - Feb 22, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir this is Nishat , I passed my 12th in the year 2023 with a good percentage but however I couldn’t see it for chemistry exam. So obviously I failed in that subject so I decided to again reappear for that exam and in 2024 I gave betterment exam from my state board in the subject biology and chemistry. However I scored far better in biology than last time but (Chemistry) I don’t know maybe it’s it’s because of the issues that we have with our board. I couldn’t score good marks so even I had decided to give (Chemistry) separately and so in 2024. I again set for (Chemistry) exam under nios I and I scored 80 so now the thing is that I’ll be having two mark sheet so while applying in need I cannot possibly select the code 2 because although I already have the state board certificate but the NIOS certificate is not yet out and it will be out by end of the March sir can I possibly select the code one that is appearing or will it create problems while counselling or is there any other option please help me out sir , I’m very desperate like I have prepared for neey for the last two years and I don’t want to put my hard work into vain. Please Sir help me out

Ans: Hello Nishtam
Please select code 1 without any fear. Focus more on your study. But considering your fear and anxiety with the chemistry subject, it is recommended that you choose other options than NEET. This time you appear without any fear.
