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

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.

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.

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.

Ans: Hello.
Depending on his score, it is difficult to get admission to premier institutions like NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs but several reputable private engineering colleges accept students with lower JEE Main scores. Please locate the reputed private college nearby you or in your state or if your financial position is sound, you can keep the options open to pan India. Some of the options are (1) Heritage Institute of Technology, Techno India University, Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM) (Kolkata) (2) Anurag University, AAR Mahaveer Engineering College (Hyd) (3) Bangalore Institute of Technology, R.V. College of Engineering, M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (Bengaluru).
