My triglycerides is 230 ; LDL cholestrol direct 122; non HDL Cholestrol 143 ; very low density lipoprotoen 46. Fasting sugar : 164 HBA1C : 7.9 SINCE 5 YEARS TAKING VIDAGLYPTIN PLUS METFORMIN 50/500 THIS REPORT WAS ON 13TH APRIL. I NEGLECTED DOCTOR ADVISE AND DID NOTHING AS I WAS OTHERWISE BUSY. EARLIER I USED TO WALK 4 KM IN PARK EVERYDAY WHICH I DISCONTINUED AS I BECAME OTHERWISE BUSY. NOW I AM QUITE UNFIT. PANTING, GETTING FATIGUED AND I CAN FEEL THE NEGLECT. I think all the above values must have further shot up. 5 days ago i resumed walking 4.5 kms and 5 days ago started taking Rosovastatin 10 mg at night. Continuing vidaglyptin plus metformin 5p/500. Have also completely given up rice, sweets since 5 days !! What else can i take ? My wife asking ne to take soaked Methi seeds in morning. By the way, my age is 74. Weight 79 kgs I am very depressed as i neglected which i usually do not do. I am mentally reconciled to 90 days cure period. Pls advise ways to expedite . Will be much appreciated. Thanks profusely.
Ans: Hello. You are doing all the right things and it is never too late. Don't be stressed. Even that will only increase your sugars and BP. To speed up the results, you can try intermittent fasting. It is when you eat during about 8 hours of the day and do not eat for about 16 hours. During those 16 hours of fasting, you can drink non calorie fluids and eat cucumbers. You can have methi seeds in water as advised by your wife. It will help reduce sugars a little more. In addition, try some stress busting activities like yoga, breathing exercises, pick up a hobby or get involved in some community activities that you believe in. All these will help you stay happier and therefore reduce your sugar levels additionally.

I am 54 years M ,having Diabetes and High BP (HTN) since the past 13 years. At times it has been in poor control also like in May 2021 the HbA1c was 10.10 which gradually went down to 7.70 and then remained constant between 7.90 and 8.10 with the medications and 'not so strict' diet regime. Plus the body weight was also increasing and i gained around 10 kgs (101.2 Kgs) in a span of around 06 months. Recently in March 2024, the test reports indicated it as 8.70 causing me some concern and in April 2024 the reports showed a value of 9.20, which made me think about the reliablity of Lab report as well as made me change the doctor. My medicines were changed from Glimepiride (2 mg),Metformin (500 mg) Pioglitazone (15 mg) and METFORMIN-500MG + VILDAGLIPTIN-50MG twice daily ( taking for about 20 months) to GLIMEPIRIDE-2MG + METFORMIN-500MG + VOGLIBOSE-0.2MG and Dapagliflozin 5 mg+Metformin 500 mg twice daily recently in Mid April 2024. I was asked by the doctor to report after a month with Fasting and PP readings. However after few days,I started realising that my blood sugar was approaching higher and then I experienced needle like sensations in feet and hands plus sticky urine with a heavy head and hot face. I again went for a checkup three days back and the randomn sugar was 291 mg/dl. The medications have again been changed to Dapagliflozin (10mg) + Metformin (500mg) + Sitagliptin (100mg) + Saroglitazar (4mg) in the morning and METFORMIN-500MG + VILDAGLIPTIN-50MG since yesterday (08.05.2024) and I have been asked to take daily readings and report after 10 days. All this has lead to a panicky feeling in me, resulting in increased HTN. I am worried that how this hit and trial or permutations and combinations will help me in achieving a perfect set of medicines to lower my blood sugar to normal levels. Kindly advice. I shall be highly obliged.

Hi, age 40 years, monthly net salary Rs 85k, married , 1 kid. Recently have constructed new house. Ground floor commercial shops, and 1st floor residential 2bhk flat were we stay. Home loan 1.05 cr with monthly EMI of 85k for next 30 years & All current savings exhausted due to new construction. Commercial shops have potential for monthly rental income of 60k to 70k.please guide on below for strategy: 1) how to close home loan in next 10 years 2) considering 60 as retirement age, need corpus of 8 cr to fund kid education, marriage and for rest of livelihood.
Ans: Hello;

1. Immediately let out the commercial shops on long lease with yearly rent hikes. This is crucial to fund your loan EMI.

Assuming this to yield rental income of 70 K per month.

You will still need to shell out 15 K for the EMI amount from your income.

2. So after deducting EMI cut from your monthly pay we are left with
70 K.
Earmarking 30 K for your regular expenses, I suggest you start a monthly SIP of 40 K in a pure equity mutual fund with yearly top-up of 11% minimum.

This may grow into a corpus of 1.47 Cr after 10 years part of which you may utilise to settle off the overdue loan amount.

3. The balance corpus left after settling the loan is expected to be around 54 L. At this stage you will need enhance monthly sip to 1.5 L with 13 % yearly top-up for the next 10 years.

4. The corpus from SIP after the next 10 years may be 6.3 Cr. The balance corpus of 54 L may grow into a sum of 1.83 Cr. Both added will give you a comprehensive corpus of 8.13 Cr, as desired. ( A modest return of 13% from pure equity mutual funds is considered).

Happy Investing!!

Sir the median package at ssnce for cse core is less than rvce ise .So does it make more viable option considering placement in mind .I have a dream of becoming software engineer from my childhood. But my seniors are advising for rvce ise.what to do should I follow my dream or placement.I am a Bangalore resident and Tamil is my mother tongue.
Ans: Ashwin, my son, graduated from RVCE in 2023 and secured employment through campus placement with a reputable software company. Despite being among the highest achievers in COMEDK, he opted for ECE instead of the more accessible CSE. We did not compel him to join CSE. Following his second year, he progressively shown an interest in software and obtained several certifications through NPTEL, Internshala, and similar platforms. Regarding his experience, while ISE is commendable, CSE is the superior option. Simply enter 'RV placement statistics 2024'. Select the initial result to get the Placement Statistics of RV directly. The top placements are for Computer Science Engineering, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering, and then Information Science Engineering. The recommendations of your seniors, your personal interests, and the branch with the highest placement statistics are distinct considerations. Kindly review the Course Curriculum for both CSE and ISE and make a decision. Kindly review one of my detailed responses below, in which I have explicitly outlined the stages, recommendations, and methods that a first-year engineering student should adhere to till their fourth year for campus placement. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
