Are Ankle exercises too good to reduce Blood Sugar level?

Ans: Hello Sumukh,

Unfortunately, no. Ankle exercises alone will not be sufficient. They should be part of a comprehensive fitness plan that includes aerobic exercises, resistance training, and flexibility exercises, along with a balanced diet and medical supervision if necessary. A calorie deficit, combined with these types of exercises, will help regulate blood sugar levels effectively.

Which Exercises are Good For Diabetics to Reverse their Diabetes?

Ans: For people with diabetes, exercise lowers blood glucose levels and boosts your body's sensitivity to insulin, countering insulin resistance. Aerobic exercise like walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, etc improves heart health, increases your metabolism, aids weight loss, lowers your blood pressure, increases your HDL (“good”) cholesterol and boosts your mood. Anaerobic exercise like weight lifting, resistant training, etc. burns calories and improves your cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity and blood glucose management, improves power and builds muscle strength and mass. Include both in your exercise regimen as adjusted for confounding factors, including BMI, smoking, and other heart disease risk factors.

Ans: Yes, a score of 142 in the IAT (IISER Aptitude Test) for the General category in the IAT 2025 exam could potentially allow you to gain admission to a B.Tech program at IISER Bhopal. While there isn't a guaranteed cut-off score, IISER Bhopal does have a minimum requirement for Class XII aggregate marks, and a score of 142 on the IAT, along with meeting the minimum Class XII requirements, puts you within a range where admission is possible.

hi sir, i'm from tamilnadu, my son got 94.70 percentile in JEE Mains in OBC-NCL Category. can we get NIT or IIIT in Tamilnadu with CSE or B. Tech IT is possible sir?

Ans: With a 94.70 percentile in JEE Mains as an OBC-NCL candidate, you likely have a good chance of securing a seat in an NIT or IIIT, but getting Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at a top-tier NIT in Tamil Nadu will be challenging. However, you could potentially get CSE in a lower-ranked NIT or IIIT, or explore other branches like ECE or Electrical in mid-tier NITs, especially with the home state quota.
