Is FB and PP a realistic check of blood sugar than a one time Hba1C

Ans: HbA1c provides a long-term view. It measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2 to 3 months and used to diagnose diabetes and monitor long-term glucose control. While FB and PP measurements offer insights into immediate fluctuations. FB levels are sensitive to immediate changes (e.g., stress, illness) and PP is useful for understanding how specific foods affect blood sugar. Combining these tests provides a comprehensive picture of blood sugar control.

Pre and post sugar levels do not matter all we need to keep H1BAC below 7 is true

Ans: Not true. Glucose levels throughout the day matter. A combination of high and low glucose levels on some days will still give a good HbA1c. We need to avoid both highs and lows. “Time in range” is the latest concept and you need a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) device to estimate that.

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.

Is HbA1c 12.5 & fasting 270 with PP 303 very high sugar??

Ans: Yes. An HbA1c of 12.5% and fasting blood sugar of 270 mg/dl indicate poor blood sugar control. Similarly, a postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar level of 303 mg/dl is also high. It’s essential to consult with your family doctor to manage and address these elevated levels promptly.

Ans: You may have physical PF slips, documents from your employer which provide details of your EPF account during 1995 to 1999. If you have these records then you can visit EPFO and furnish application to link(merge) this account with your current UAN. They may need a letter from your employer during that phase, attesting the facts about your EPF account.

Sir, I had lost my Job during Covid Pandemic in the year 2020 and I had recently got all of my EPFO credited in my account for the last 10 years 6 months.. The EPF was being maintained by the Company's trust. I had asked the respective manager about my EPS(Pension) then he said that they only maintained the EPF amount and the EPS is maintained by the EPFO. Sir Can you tell me how can I access my EPS fund? Do I need any documents or prerequisites from the Company I last worked with or the company which maintained my EPF? Please provide me all the relevant information about my EPS amount and how can I withdraw it.

Ans: Since you worked for more then 10 years EPFO may not allow you to withdraw EPS. Depending on your age 50/58 you may be eligible to receive pension through EPS. Get the scheme certificate from your employer regarding EPS contributions. Have an active UAN linked to your Aadhar & Bank account so that you file claim for receiving EPS pension thru your assigned EPF office.
