Health

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.

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.

Which branch is more preferred in sector of semiconductor cce or ece.?

Ans: Which engineering discipline is more preferred is a personal choice. However, here are the prospects for each. Semiconductor engineering is likely to see explosive growth in niche, high-tech manufacturing roles.

CCE will expand with the digital transformation and infrastructure improvements related to 5G and communication systems.

ECE remains a safe and versatile choice, with its broad applicability across industries such as telecom, electronics, automotive, and defence.

If you prefer niche, highly specialized work, semiconductor engineering could offer the most growth. For broader job opportunities across industries, ECE or CCE may be better choices.

Whichever discipline you pick up, I urge you to put in your best efforts in mastering the fundamentals, excelling in your internships, hackathons.

Question by Muskan - Sep 16, 2024Hindi

Relationship

Hii sir ! This is ritika and I love a boy and we are in relationship since 7 years but there are some behavior of him he always have doubt on me that I am dating another boy he always says that start you screenshare in WhatsApp I even do because I don't want to lose him and he saw all of things of my phone yesterday he again asking for that and I do and there was a tab of instagram which was belongs to my roommate it was her I'd open in my chrome browser where she only wants to delete the I'd which she did from my phone these instagram thing happened approx one year ago but when he saw this I told him that was not mine but he continuously said I am cheater I cheated with him again he was like I know you have two mobile phones and you cheated with me. I love him soo much but he cannot try to accept that . Even I don't talk to my male classmate because he didn't want ki main kisi boy se baat karu Is it fair , am I cheater ? I love him unconditionally I support him in all his career or decision but again he was like I cheated with him we are in long distance relationship but I can't cheat him . Literally I am feeling depressed ????

Ans: Dear Ritika,

Please understand that you did nothing wrong. Why would you even question yourself? You know you never cheated. It's his issue that he cannot trust. Yes, in a relationship we all try to comfort our partners but that too should be to a certain extent. And, in that process, if your mental health is being compromised, I don't see how it's a healthy relationship.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I would reassure you that YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. You don't need to prove yourself anymore. And I can also assure you that no matter what you do, he will still manage to find some flaws and doubt you. It's a typical behavior we see in some partners. You deserve peace, love, and above all, to be trusted.

Best Wishes.
