Nnamaste Dr. My random sugar came 190. Then got done fasting: 120, then PP:145, Hb1ac: 5.4. Am i a diabetic. Pl advice Thanks

Ans: These fasting and PP readings are pointing towards a pre-diabetic like situation. However, the HbA1c is within normal range, which indicates that your sugar excursions might be recent and temporary phenomenon.
Please reduce your carbohydrate intake. If you are overweight, reduce weight. adopt a healthy eating habit and 30 min of walk every day.

Keep a track of your blood sugar levels. After 3 months, get blood sugar, Fasting, 2 hr after meal and HbA1c repeated. You might need an Oral Glucose Tolerance test to get confirmation of condition.

As of now, nothing much to worry and a healthy lifestyle benefit everyone.

Ensure you have sufficient daily vitamin C, D and B12 intake.

Sir my daughter scored 73.8 in 10+2 but maths percentile is very low @ 46. She wish to appear in BITSAT. Can she be eligible if she improves her score in improvement exam to be held in July by CBSE?

Ans: Eligibility for BITS Pilani Admission:
Minimum Requirement: Candidates should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (for engineering courses) and secured at least 75% aggregate marks in these three subjects or be among the top 20 percentile in their respective board exams.

BITS also requires minimum 60% marks in each of these subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
Yes! If she improves her aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics to 75% or above, she will meet the minimum eligibility criteria for BITSAT.
But my suggestion is to avoid engineering, because almost all streams in engineering require B.Sc. level math.
