I am 56 I regularly donate blood, I do regular cycling, excercise all perameters are normal, I am trying to avoid sugar but hope to minimize in near future as my father was diabetic my sister is confirmed case of diabetic but for brother i dont know, my question is can i still prone to diabetic?,

Ans: Having close relatives with type 2 diabetes increases your risk. However, diabetes can be acquired from environmental and lifestyle as well. Excess body weight, sedentary lifestyles, chronic stress, etc., affects blood sugar regulation. Risk increases with age, especially for type 2 diabetes. Prevention through regular exercise, balanced diet, weight management, and stress reduction is an effective strategy for maintaining controlled blood sugar levels.

Hello doctor, Recently my fasting sugar tested at 103 and HB1AC 6.5. This is first time that my blood results are like this, other wise they were always good. I am 52 year old 84 kg weight with bit sedentary life style. I had steroids in last Jan due to my eye surgery and recently my doctor has started anti anxiety meds . Do u think I am going to be diabetic soon. Regards

Ans: This is almost diabetes. You need to take care of your diet and get some exercise on a daily basis to ensure that this doesn't get any worse. Avoiding carbs as much as possible, having an early dinner and getting sufficient sleep is important.

Nnamaste Dr. My random sugar came 190. Then got done fasting: 120, then PP:145, Hb1ac: 5.4. Am i a diabetic. Pl advice Thanks

Ans: These fasting and PP readings are pointing towards a pre-diabetic like situation. However, the HbA1c is within normal range, which indicates that your sugar excursions might be recent and temporary phenomenon.
Please reduce your carbohydrate intake. If you are overweight, reduce weight. adopt a healthy eating habit and 30 min of walk every day.

Keep a track of your blood sugar levels. After 3 months, get blood sugar, Fasting, 2 hr after meal and HbA1c repeated. You might need an Oral Glucose Tolerance test to get confirmation of condition.

As of now, nothing much to worry and a healthy lifestyle benefit everyone.

Ensure you have sufficient daily vitamin C, D and B12 intake.

My son has scored enough to get admission in cse branch at VIT Vellore. He should go for CSE core branch or should we opt for AI and Machine Learning. Please guide.

Ans: Hi Sachin
I recommend choosing CSE Core. It gives him time and space to explore different domains (including AI/ML) at his own pace. He won’t be locked into a niche if he changes his mind later. He can still do certifications or research projects in AI/ML.
