Hi, My haemoglobin a1c is 9.3.my blood glucose fasting is 180, post prandial 340. What kind of foods I need to avoid and I am vegetarian. 41yr at 95kg.pls advise Sathish

Ans: Prioritize dietary changes to help manage your diabetes. Avoid refined carbohydrates like white bread, white rice, and pasta.
Refrain from sugary cereals and baked goods, sweets, candies, and desserts. and beverages. Processed Foods like chips, and fast and fried foods should be strictly avoided. High-fat dairy products like full-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt should be refrained. Include high-fiber foods like leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers and fruits like berries, apples (with skin), and pears. Whole grains like oats, quinoa, barley, and brown rice contain complex carbs which will not spike blood sugar levels. Protein-rich foods like beans, lentils, and chickpeas, low -fat dairy products and nuts and seeds are excellent low glycemic index foods. Keep track of your blood sugar levels.

Question by Sateesh - Mar 20, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi, My current weight is 71 kg, height 172 and age is 49 years male. I am a type 2 diabetic for the last 5 years. Please suggest me suitable foods to take and foods to avoid. I want to bring down my weight to 66 kgs.

Ans: Given your age and current ailments it is not safe to change diet pattern without a proper history and monitoring of sugar levels for at least 1-2 weeks. You can visit a diabetes specialist or a naturopath for the same and then draw out your diet plan accordingly. Since diabetics are also prone to easy muscle loss, your plan should be a combination of diet and right exercises.

Money

I have transferred some of my Mutual Fund investments to my daughter as a gift. Do I need to make a gift deed? Do I need to register it? What will it cost me to register it?

Ans: As on today transferring or gifting mutual fund units is a difficult topic(gray area) that needs to be addressed by the regulators. When you say you have transferred, I suppose you have redeemed your holding and purchased units in the name of your daughter who is a major(above 18 years). No need for gift deed in such case.

Other ways could be through nomination, joint holding

To appear for JEE (Adv) you have to clear first JEE (Main). It will be difficult for you to match with the syllabus after a huge gap of 2 years. But nothing is impossible. If you qualify in JEE (Main) cutoff, you certainly can appear for JEE (Adv)

Financial Planner - Answered on Sep 08, 2024

Asked by Anonymous - Sep 05, 2024Hindi

Money

I am investing monthly around Rs 18,000 in MFs, as per the following: Canara Robeco Small capMF - Rs 4.5k, PGIM Mid Cap Opportunities - Rs 4.5k, Tata Digital - Rs 4.5k, Quant Active - Rs 4.5k. I am intending to increase monthly investment in MF from present Rs 18k to Rs 40k & needed a corpus of at least 1 cr in next 10 years. Can you check suggest if my portfolio needs any changes or the same appears to be in order?

Ans: To reach a corpus of Rs 1 crore in 10 years, you will need to invest in funds that generate around 10-12 per cent annual returns. Your current portfolio is diversified across small-cap, mid-cap, digital, and active funds, which can work well but also carries some volatility, especially in sectoral and small-cap/mid-cap funds.

Portfolio Review:

• Canara Robeco Small Cap Fund: Good for aggressive growth but highly volatile. Keep it if you're comfortable with higher risk.
• PGIM Mid Cap Opportunities Fund: Another growth-oriented fund with decent potential. It's good to have some exposure to mid-caps.
• Tata Digital Fund: Sectoral funds are risky because they are dependent on the sector's performance. Digital/technology funds can be volatile; consider reducing exposure here.
• Quant Active Fund: A multi-cap approach with flexibility across market caps. This fund provides balance and is good for diversification.

Suggestions:

• Increase Allocation to Large Cap/Index Funds: You may want to balance your portfolio with a large-cap or index fund like UTI Nifty 50 or Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund. Large-cap funds provide stability and reduce overall portfolio volatility.
• Reduce Sector-Specific Exposure: Consider trimming your allocation to Tata Digital Fund, as sectoral funds can face prolonged underperformance during sector downturns. You can reallocate this to a more diversified fund.
• Balanced Fund: Add a balanced or hybrid fund like HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund or ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund for better risk management while maintaining growth potential.
• Debt Component: To hedge against equity risk, consider adding a small portion to a short-term debt fund or gilt fund, which can provide stability during volatile periods.

Suggested Structure After Increase:

• Canara Robeco Small Cap Fund: Rs 6,000
• PGIM Mid Cap Opportunities Fund: Rs 6,000
• Quant Active Fund: Rs 6,000
• Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund: Rs 6,000
• HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund: Rs 6,000
• ICICI Prudential Multi Asset Fund: Rs 5,000
• UTI Nifty 50 Index Fund: Rs 5,000

This adjusted allocation will maintain growth potential while providing a cushion against volatility.
