I am 59 Yrs old male, Diabetic since 2006, but it is controlled under medication. 5 months before I got infected in tongue and cheek with Lichen planus. Initial month I ignored but was concerned after. Other than a light burning senstation while eating there are no issues. The consulting Dr. (Allopathy) advised Candid oral paint, Polaraline and Riboflavin. I reduced after a month but was still there. At that time I switched to Ayurveda (I know cure will take time but will be permanent) Dr Advised VILWADI Tablets, Arimedas Thailam (Adding water and swishing) and Ashtachoornam. Its been atleast 21 days but the LICHEN is still there, not aggrevating or spreading, but very negligible susbsiding. what is the reason for such situation? Kindly advise

Ans: Diabetes and LP has no direct connections and no cause and effect relationship

Ans: Please see if you have changed your toothpaste if yes, then shift to your original one and please do not change toothpastes.
Mouth ulcers is also a reflection of your digestive issues. Eat early dinner before 7 pm, avoid oily food at bed time and rinse your mouth with 100 ml warm water containing 1 tsp coconut oil three times a day

Have you consulted a good nutritionist and if yes, are you following it properly? What we eat makes a huge difference in diabetes, to heal wound and to reduce numbness in legs.
Are you doing some form of yoga? Some breathing exercises? Are you doing at least 30-45 minutes walks regularly?
All these above are very important for you so please let me know.

Hello Doctor, I am 45/m taking diabetic medication of amaryl m1 forte and jardiance 10 and also olkem 20 for BP and Jupiros f 10 .ALso I am asthematic and for that regularly I take seroflo 250 at night .My sugar is 120/160.Probelm is I have developed a lottle rough and dry tongue with a whitish coating which almost goes after i use mouthwash at night .Also my tongue is a little rough on the upper side . Consulted many ent /dentist but till now nothing helped . I have this habit of snoring at night . In the midnight and early morning tongue is totally dry and as soon as water is taken ,for that time its resolved . Please help .Thanks SS

Ans: Hi Sandip ji,
It is dryness of mouth, which is a common situation in diabetic patients.
You are also on Jardiance (Empagliflozin)- a SGLT-2 inhibitor, an anti diabetic medicine, which results in increased urination and thus loss of a lot of water from the body.
Consider and try smaller sips of water and mouth lozenges. Also, for snoring, consult a sleep medicine specialist.

I am not very sure what you mean sugar level is 120/160? Please specify. What is your HbA1c, is also important for me to know and advice further.

Career

Sir, My father forced me to B-tech engineering degree. I completed my B-tech in chemical engineering in 2008 but our college didn't gave any placementin core chemical. I wanted to go for higher education like M-tech or MBA, but my father didn't make that happen. I gave many interviews from outside in pvt sector and not selected in the final interview. I also qualified in PSUs and same thing happened not qualified in the final selection process. In PSUs also they are wanting higher education. Recently I have done one internship in AI with project from Skillible and one internship in cyber security with project from Edunet foundation. I have 2 years of experience as a math expert in Chegg India. What will I do, please suggest. My father has completely ruined my life.

Ans: Nodody can ruin your career if you have the potential. Your father is not your enemy.
1. Further Education (If Feasible)
If higher education was a roadblock before but is now an option, consider pursuing an M.Tech (Chemical/AI/Cybersecurity) or an MBA (Operations, Data Analytics, or IT Management).
Distance learning programs from IITs, NITs, IIMs, and ISB could also be beneficial.
GATE 2025: If you're still interested in PSUs, qualifying GATE again with a high rank could give you opportunities.

2. Alternative Careers in Mathematics and Teaching
Since you have experience as a math expert at Chegg, you could look at:
Government teaching jobs (NET, SET exams).
Private coaching (IIT-JEE/NEET coaching institutes like FIITJEE, Aakash, etc.).
Online tutoring platforms (Vedantu, Unacademy, Byju’s, Cuemath, etc.).
Actuarial Science or Data Analytics, which involve heavy mathematical modeling.

These are few options. Many are available. Work hard.

Hey... Five years ago, I confessed my feeling to my crush. She declined my proposal politely and asked me to be friends. I respected her decision of putting down my proposal but i didn't want to in friendzone so I broke my contract with her. Since then we never encountered each other. After fuve years one of our mutual friends met her and she was asking him about me. She did ask him about me twice. I know this can be her normal behavior. I want to know if she thinks about me or if she wants to get connected?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like you mentioned, it is very normal for old friends to enquire about each other, especially if they have not been in touch for a long time. It might be the same in this case. The only way to tell for sure is to ask her. If you are interested in reconnecting, you can think about the same and ask her once you are back in talking terms. But I would recommend not assuming anything and getting your hopes up.

Best Wishes.
