Early morning around 4.30 am i have 12 to 15 gms of oats and this helps in avoiding low sugar and keeps my fasting morning sugar around 80 to 90 at 7.30 am. Is it ok to continue this practice.

Ans: You need to modify your dinner time anti diabetic medications so to ensure that you dont have to eat early in morning.
What you have indicated points towards fact that you might be going towards hypoglycemia.
after taking oats or anything, the values taken in the morning are not fasting.
The fasting blood sugar means - values after atleast 8 or preferably 10 hours after previous meal or any eating.

Please consult a physician to get this resolved.

Dr. my Glucose Fasting is 115.10 & Glucose post meal is 149.60 is it Ok..

Ans: Blood sugar fasting levels of 115 md/dl and PP of 149 md/dl are indicative of pre-diabetes. You need to confirm this by doing an HbA1c test to check average blood sugar levels. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by dietary modifications like including high fiber, low fat, low carbohydrate foods. Consume foods like whole grains, vegetables, beans. nuts, etc. Avoid concentrated foods like sweets, chocolate cakes, pastries, ice creams and fried foods. Adopt a regular exercise regimen.

Health

My sugar level at the of 65 is 6.3 under the recommended early morning fasting. Am I normal?

Ans: If you are not diabetic or not on medication, please change your lifestyle.
The Hba1c should be less than 6 or preferably 5.7.
if with fasting is this much and HbA1c 6.3, that would mean your post meal values are high.
Need to reduce carbs in the diet as well.
Next time, please get both fasting and 2 hr post pradial blood sugar levels done along with Hab1c

Hello Sir How is NIT Nagpur CsE curriculum and placements ? My son getting it

Ans: HI JAYSHREE MADAM,
The institution is one of the top NITs, ranked within the top 10. Regarding placements, both the institution and alumni support aspirants in securing jobs in the industry. However, if the aspirants do not perform well, that support will not be effective. Therefore, placement success is largely dependent on the aspirants themselves rather than the institution. To enhance employability, aspirants should focus on acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to meet industry requirements, including eligibility and competency.
So before completing the program, let him pursue AIML in online or part-time.

Ans: HI MANJU MADAMA,
What is the rank on the WAIT list? If the waitlist number exceeds five, it becomes very difficult to predict. This is because, at most, only 1-5 seats may be canceled by students in specific programs due to better options.

Sir I applied for pec chandigarh I have freedom fighter quota at State level but pec eligibility criteria is 75% but I didn't eligible for that because I get less marks in maths and because of that I only get 66% I want to ask I will gave my re exam of maths so that I complete my 75 % and eligible for pec Verification of pec has been completed on 3 july and they cancelled my admission So if I eligible for it after my exam they will allow me for admission after There verification sir please answer my questions

Ans: HI ISHITHA,
No,
Your application cannot be accepted. The basic eligibility criteria for PEC Chandigarh require candidates to achieve a minimum of 75% marks at the time of admission. Since you have scored only 66%, your application will be automatically rejected. So you are supposed to get 75%.
I think I have answered your query.
