Health

Hi, I am 40Y M 80.5kg 5'11''. Have developed knee pain in one leg since last 1.5years, feel mild knocking on bending knee also since around the same time. Find it difficult to climb stairs as the affected knee doesnt seem to take proper load. i also suffer from knee locking while walking in the same leg. MRI Scan reveal mild erosion of cartilage. I am able to stay active and play mild sports with knee supports, no pain experienced once body warms up so able to run as well. Doctor also suggested knee injections if the pain further aggravates. Is it advisable to go for such treatments. Please advise what exercises should be done. Are there any supplements or multi vitamins that i shall take.

Ans: Hello Ankit,
How recent was the MRI done? There were no other findings like in the menisci or knee ligaments?
Have you done your blood test recently? Accordingly you need to take Vit D3 and Vit B12 supplements. Magnesium can also help. You need to show your blood reports to a Dr and accordingly take the vitamins.
Have you shown your knee to a physiotherapist? If not please do so. They will do a proper evaluation and accordingly do techniques like Ultrasound, taping, dry needling and give you exercises.
I would suggest first go in for nutrition care and physiotherapy. If still pain persists then you can think of knee injections as the more natural the treatment is the better.
All the best!

Health

Hi , My Hba1c is 6.5-6.6 but sugar fasting is 100-110 and PP is varying 120-145 . These results are in same range since 2years .what does it means ? what should be the diet plan ? how to reduce Hba1c ? whether i am a diabetic ?pl suggest

Ans: A normal level for an HbA1c is below 5.7%.. Your level is indicative of diabetes. Normal fasting blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl and your range of 100-110 mg/dl which suggests prediabetes. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Limit refined sugars, processed foods, and high-calorie snacks. Monitor portion sizes and spread meals throughout the day. Regular exercise helps lower blood sugar levels. Discuss your results with a registered dietician or your family physician.

I am 55 and currently struggling with my career. I lost my job 4 years ago during covid. I have a management diploma and currently working as visiting faculty teaching in management colleges, but the assignments are far few and unpredictable i am also a graguare in engineering and MA in psychology. Kindly suggest if studying some course or masters oibe will help me to get some online assignments for stable flow of income?

Ans: Not sure if doing courses would help you to get a stable income as most companies prefer younger employees. But can look at option of working in a startup / smaller company at a lower salary and then build a profile to help develop skill sets that would make you employable at a higher salary. It could also be possible that you could use your experience in your past work in your new job.

Hello, I am having 13years+ experience in telecommunications operators & vendors with engineering background.For last few years I have been thinking of doing an mba in relevant field to move forward. Currently I am earning 28lpa & not able to leave my job for full time executive mba. Should I consider for full time via gmat or any online programs from well known b-schools, Would you please suggest..

Ans: If you are already drawing 28 lpa, then leaving a job for doing MBA does not seem to be a good option. But can analyze the placements in these top Executive MBA course. Check if the profiles that they provide are of interest to you. Their average package should be 30+ lpa. Look also at an option of taking a sabbatical from your company to do an executive MBA.

Ans: Weight loss can be challenging, especially when you have a sedentary job. Keep a detailed food diary to track your daily calorie consumption. Include protein at every meal as it boosts metabolism and help maintain muscle mass during weight loss. Focus on whole grains, vegetables, fruits and limit refined sugars. Be active. Take short walks, use stairs, or stand up frequently. Cut back on carbs and stay hydrated.
