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.

Health

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.

My son got in Btech ece group in saveetha deemed eng college how about the placement and faculty can anyone suggest how it is

Ans: ECE at Saveetha has good infrastructure and a flexible learning system, but core ECE placements are average, and faculty quality is mixed. Overall, it is fine if your son focuses on skills, internships, and preparation for higher studies alongside college academics. If no other alternative is available, you can go with Saveetha. (The information is collected from online sources, as it is not possible for us to know all the details about any college/institute)

My sister has scored47 marks in comedk are there chances of getting cse ai/ml

Ans: Chances with top colleges are almost nil. Try with newer or lower-tier colleges during later rounds. But you keep an alternative option ready as a backup. More practical advice is to choose a decent private college with the preferred branch and take admission via the management quota if finance is not the main concern.

Good luck.

Question by Divinesha - May 23, 2026Hindi

Career

I got 85 marks in COMEDK. What all colleges can I get with that, considering I want to pursue ece vlsi or ece or aerospace only. Also, I'm from Chandigarh, so I don't have HS quota. Additionally I'm getting metallurgy and civil at PEC, Electronics at Thapar (but it's too costly) and ece at CCET, sector 26 Chandigarh. Which of these, and the clgs I can get via COMEDK, are the best options considering my main focus is chip designing for military missiles and air crafts and I want to prepare for GATE and go for Mtech so placements aren't a big deal for me. My main concern is that the teaching quality and labs should be good and help me in case I also want to get a PhD in future... I'd be really grateful if you could rank them please...

Ans: Try ECE at BMSIT, NMIT, or CMRIT, or aerospace at DSCE/SJCE. Among your current choices, PEC-Punjab Engineering College (Metallurgy/Civil) has the strongest long-term academic brand, but for your VLSI/chip-design + GATE/PhD goal, prefer Thapar if fees are manageable; otherwise, Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology (ECE) is the most practical choice.

Good luck.

Thanks for answering. Will you please elaborate the difference between the two and ground for preferring IGDTUW?

Ans: For a female candidate focused on overall career prospects, coding culture, placements, and brand value, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women CSE is generally preferred over M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology CSE. But if you are inclined towards MSRIT, it is also an excellent choice. Practical advice: Choose the one that is nearer to your hometown to reduce upcoming expenses.
