Question by Mounesh - Feb 27, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi Komal ji. I am 61 years and diabetic for the past 12 years. My HbA1C today is 6.4 and it was 5.1 in November 2022. Fasting and PP is 90 and 84 respectively. I am on medication with Janumet 50/500 twice a day morning and night and Cardace 2.5 mg in the morning for BP. My weight is 60 kgs and height is 167cm. My diet includes millets, vegetables, fruits, dry fruits, chese, butter, ghee and cold pressed oils. Fully stopped eating maida, white rice and sugar. Please advice (1) how to bring HbA1c within 4.6 to 5.5. (2) If HbA1c is brought within 4.6 to 5.5, can I stop taking diabetes medicines ?. Thanks & Regards.

Ans: You are already on maximum diet. Exercise of 30 to 45 minutes everyday for at least 5 days in a week would help to control the HBA1c well. Once your sugar levels are consistently in the normal range, you can probably reduce the tablet to once daily. Possibility of completely stopping the medicine is less. It is a very stiff target of keeping HbA1c of 4.6 to 5.5, which is difficult to achieve. Keeping it less than 6.4 is fair enough.

Ans: You may have physical PF slips, documents from your employer which provide details of your EPF account during 1995 to 1999. If you have these records then you can visit EPFO and furnish application to link(merge) this account with your current UAN. They may need a letter from your employer during that phase, attesting the facts about your EPF account.

Sir, I had lost my Job during Covid Pandemic in the year 2020 and I had recently got all of my EPFO credited in my account for the last 10 years 6 months.. The EPF was being maintained by the Company's trust. I had asked the respective manager about my EPS(Pension) then he said that they only maintained the EPF amount and the EPS is maintained by the EPFO. Sir Can you tell me how can I access my EPS fund? Do I need any documents or prerequisites from the Company I last worked with or the company which maintained my EPF? Please provide me all the relevant information about my EPS amount and how can I withdraw it.

Ans: Since you worked for more then 10 years EPFO may not allow you to withdraw EPS. Depending on your age 50/58 you may be eligible to receive pension through EPS. Get the scheme certificate from your employer regarding EPS contributions. Have an active UAN linked to your Aadhar & Bank account so that you file claim for receiving EPS pension thru your assigned EPF office.
