Dear Doctor I am 63 years and diabetic since 8 years. Since last two years FBS is between 120-130 and PP 170-180. HBa1c was below 7. In March I went for routine check up and my results are FBS 126, PP 176 and HBa1c is 7.5. I am taking Glycomet sr 500 twice and Omen 20 once for BP. My doctor told to bring down HBa1c to 7 but did not change the medicine. I walk for 45 minutes and yoga/pranayam regularly. My question is 1) is above sugar result(126 and 176) ok 2) how to keep down HBa1c 3) can I eat Oats in breakfast 4) can diabetic eat raisins 5) what food to avoid strictly Regards

Ans: The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology offers a four-year B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Avionics) with an annual intake of 60 students, integrating core ECE, avionics systems and mandatory ISRO/DOS internships from the third year. The curriculum spans signal processing, RF/microwave communications, control systems, VLSI and embedded systems, supported by state-of-the-art labs and faculty with aerospace expertise. Over the last three years, ECE (Avionics) placements achieved between 57% and 100%, with direct absorption into ISRO centres for CGPA?eligible students and 38–48 non-ISRO offers across recruiters like TCS, Mahindra and Intel. Graduates typically secure roles in satellite communication, radar systems, VLSI design and embedded applications, and are well-prepared for higher studies in RF engineering, signal processing or avionics.

Recommendation: Pursue B.Tech ECE at IIST Thiruvananthapuram for its specialized avionics focus, high ISRO absorption potential and robust placement consistency, ensuring strong career pathways in aerospace electronics and communications. Please note, ISRO Recruitment Policy Changes Every Year for IIST Students. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
