I am 59 year old weight 64 kg height 165 cm bmi in control. Before 2021 I was non diabetic and no control over food intake. Since 2023 my Hba1c started increasing and in oct 2023 it was around 9. Since then I have started control food. my FBS in Dec 2023 was 200 and pp2bs was 270 to 300. in jan 2024 I more strict on food intake hence in Jan 2024 my FBS came down to 170 and pp2bs is 190 to 225 in home glucometer. I amnot taking any medicine till now pl adv how can I reduce more by food and life style. I am regular in my excercise and walking from Dilip Agrawal

Ans: Glad to know that you are more conscious of your health and diet. However, a FBS of 170 mg/dl and PP of 190-225 mg/dl is still in an uncontrolled blood sugar level range. Focus on lifestyle modifications like selection of complex carbohydrates like whole grains and legumes. Include high fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, oats, etc. in your daily diet. Avoid the intake of foods high in added sugars and processed foods like cakes, pastries, fried foods, fast foods, chocolates, alcohol, etc. to prevent blood sugar spikes. Maintain at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. Achieve a healthy weight. Follow a regular exercise regimen and eat at regular intervals.

Madam, Iam 37 years old hight 5', weight 70 kgs Hba1c 6.3 kindly suggest how to decrease

Ans: An HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% is Prediabetes. General diet tips to lower A1C levels include being mindful of portion sizes, regular eating habits, spreading out carbohydrate-rich foods throughout the day, choosing less-processed or whole foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts and eating a balanced diet complete with healthy proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Avoid high fat and sugary foods. Exercise plays an important role in lowering your blood sugar levels by increasing energy expenditure.

Ans: It's great to hear that you've already made significant progress in managing your weight and blood sugar levels! Your current HbA1c level of 5.8 is in the prediabetes range. Monitor carbohydrate intake by opting for whole grains, legumes, etc. Increase fiber intake by including vegetables, fruits, legumes, etc. Include healthy fats sources like olive oil, avocado and nuts. Include lean sources of protein like legumes, chicken, fish, eggs, etc. Stay well hydrated and exercise regularly by aiming at muscle gain and fat loss.

Sir, I weigh 70 kgs..height 5feet 4 inches...last reading of. Hba1c was 5.8..i eat millets , walk daily, avoid sugar..very rarely take sweet.. Kindly advice how to reduce hba1c further I m unable to reduce weight further My father and sister are diabetic

Ans: Maintaining a healthy HbA1c level is crucial for diabetes management. Hereditary is a contributing factor to high levels of HbA1c. Continue with your millet-based diet, as they are a good choice due to their low glycemic index. Focus on complex carbohydrates with high fiber content (like vegetables, whole grains, and legumes). Limit starchy carbs (such as white rice, bread, and potatoes) that can cause blood sugar spikes. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables (carrots, greens, zucchini, tomatoes). Include lean protein (chicken, tofu) and low healthy fats in your diet. Physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar, so be active. Focus on fat loss and muscle gain.

JEE Mains query: My son is in PUC in Karnataka and would like to know if we can avail Hyderabad-Karnataka quota for JEE mains or advance - if he passes with required percentile or percent. Ours is a general category. FYI, my daughter got medical seat using the same quota in 2023. Thanks is advance. SAH

Ans: Yes, your son can avail the Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) quota, now known as the Kalyana Karnataka (KK) reservation, for JEE Mains or JEE Advanced, provided he meets the eligibility criteria. Since your daughter has already availed this quota for medical admissions, your son should also be eligible.

Hii, I am a student of physics wallah, online prepping for JEE.. I am currently 10th pass and I really sulky when it's about attending classes why waste a hefty amount of school fees when you can just get into NIOS system and crack JEE nd get into reputed IITs and nits ? What's your thoughts here

Ans: If you are naturally self-driven and don’t need external discipline, NIOS is a great choice for saving time and focusing on JEE. Otherwise, a flexible school (where attendance isn't strict) could be a better balance.

Sir maine 2025 me 12th up board se de liya hai aur jee main session 1 and 2 bhi de diya hai mujhe nhi lag rha ki mera cut off clear hoga mai drop nhi lena chahata kyuki mera drop me bhi nhi clear hoga kya mai dobara cbse board se 11th and 12th karke jee de sakta hu

Ans: Hi Prashant
Maximum 3 Attempts in 3 Consecutive Years:
JEE Main aap 12th ke year se lekar agle 2 saal tak, total 3 baar de sakte ho.
Agar aapne 12th 2025 me diya hai, to aap:
2025
2026
2027
me JEE de sakte ho.

12th Board Attempt Consideration:
Aap agar dobara 12th CBSE se karte ho (maan lo 2027 me), to JEE 2027 ka attempt valid hoga, aur aapka purana 12th (2025 UP board) attempt count nahi hoga.
Lekin, pehle diye gaye JEE attempts fir bhi count honge. Matlab aap already 2 baar JEE de chuke ho (2025 ke 2 sessions), to aapke paas sirf ek aur final attempt (2026 ya 2027) bachega.

I am a ISC board student, i did not do any coaching for jee. Should i join crash course for viteee & bitsat exams which are coming up soon??

Ans: Hi
VITEEE is relatively easier compared to JEE. If you're confident with ISC Physics, Chem, Math — and you can manage speed — you might not need a crash course, just mock test practice.

BITSAT is trickier due to speed + extra sections. If you're targeting BITS Pilani, a crash course can seriously help.
