Health

Hb1ac level 6.4 is high ? If high how to decrease?

Ans: A HbA1c level of 6.4 indicates prediabetes. Prediabetes means you have a higher than normal blood sugar level. It's not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes yet. Thus, you need to take immediate action in lowering your blood sugar levels by lifestyle modifications. Follow a diet rich in complex carbohydrate foods like whole grains, fruits , vegetables, etc., good protein sources like low fat dairy products, lean meat, pulses and legumes, etc. and low fats. Make sure to avoid sweets, alcohol, cakes, while bread, cookies, chocolates, etc. Follow portion control and a regular exercise schedule.

Question by Shenaa - Sep 10, 2024Hindi

Health

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.

Question by Mehul - Apr 22, 2025

Health

My right leg starts to shake or tremble when standing on both legs. My mother was suffering from PD. Am I also heading for the same decease?

Ans: Dear Mr. Mehul. Thank you for your question. As a physiotherapist, I understand your concern, especially given your family history. Your leg trembling while standing could be due to muscle fatigue, essential tremor, or orthostatic tremor—not necessarily Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD tremors usually occur at rest, not during standing, and are accompanied by stiffness or slowness. Since your mother had PD, consulting a neurologist is important for proper evaluation. A physiotherapist can assess your strength and balance to rule out muscle-related causes. Early diagnosis is key, but many tremors are manageable. Don’t assume it’s PD yet, get checked to be sure. Don’t panic., many tremors are treatable and not progressive. I wish you quick recovery
