I am 30 years my hb1ac is 6.4 is maintaining diet and walking 5 kms enough to reverse it

Ans: Hello Shenaa,

Following a proper diet and walking 5 km daily is a positive start, but it alone may not be enough to reverse the condition. To effectively manage and potentially improve it, focus on creating a calorie deficit, following a low-carbohydrate diet, and incorporating regular exercise. Along with walking, adding resistance training can enhance metabolic health and yield better results.

It’s also essential to seek guidance from a physiotherapist to develop a safe and effective exercise plan and consult a nutritionist for a tailored diet strategy. A combination of these efforts will help you achieve your goals more efficiently.

I am diabetic for the last 10 years.My hb1ac is 6.8-7.1..How I can lower it naturally?

Ans: As you have mentioned that you have diabetes for last 10 years. I am not sure how many oral anti diabetic drugs you are taking. Since it is fairly long duration since first detection, it is less likely to control diabetes without medication.

The people who are within five years of detection, are on two or less oral antidiabetic drugs and who have HbA1C are better fit for remission. However, in your case, it is possible.

Please provide details about your diabetes, weight, height, lifestyle.

There are three pronged approaches to control diabetes : medications, physical activity and diet (and also in extended way sleep and mental health). If we can improve on other aspects, the need for medication can be reduced.

Relationship

I recently join a new workplace and there I found this male married colleague of my age. At first everything is professional. He sometime message me on WhatsApp to just ask about office just in friendly way. I thought him as a workplace friend and we chat in a friendly way but one day he told me not to mention to anyone that he message me on WhatsApp. I found this weird. I mean it's nothing between us that should be hide then why he told me to keep it private.I want to confort him about this incident But then I think that maybe I overthink this situation and as we have to work together so I think it become awkward also o am very new at workplace so I sweep it under the rug. But next day he act normal at office like totally friendly so o think that I might be overthink about the situation. But later one day when he visit home he specifically told me not to message him. I mean I what is this. I never message him first. I only reply him. I never started it. If we are just friends why he want to keep it private. I find it little bit weird and also I don't like it. I want to comfort it about that but also not want make it awkward at office. I want to know that what kind of his intentions. I don't want any trouble.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Have fun but 'secretly' is fun no? That's what he is happily enjoying...
Obviously he cares about his reputation and what if you get too involved in him; so he's making sure he has fun but in a way that has a boundary.
I would suggest let him not have the pleasure of drawing that boundary so there is not need for you to respond to any of his messages...And you are absolutely right in asking: "If we are just friends why he want to keep it private." There lies your answer. For him, possibly it has gone beyond this in his mind and hence he keeping it private. Draw your boundary NOW. Better later than never.

All the best!

Hello, I am presently 65 years old and currently retired from service for the last 5 years. At the time of retirement I have withdrawn the entire balance from the PF and EPS accounts. I have been offered a full time employment position once again by a new company which is different from the last company where I was working, Can I opt out of the PF scheme when I join this new company ??

Ans: Hello;

Opting out of EPF is not possible.

Ensure that entire 12% of employer contribution goes towards EPF since EPS is out of coverage now.

Also ensure proper nomination.
