my HbA1c scopre is 9.2, however i take medicine for last 5 years. Is the score have any trouble?

Ans: This is a very high HbA1c level, specially if you are already on medication.
This essentially mean your blood sugar is not under control. Please consult a physician, who would review your diabetes and blood sugar control amongst other things.
You definitely need change in medicine and lifestyle. If already on multiple antidiabetic oral medicines, then starting insulin could also be a good idea.

Coming to the University of Strathclyde, top-ranked in the UK for Computer Science, this university is renowned for its linkages with industry, research possibilities, as well as outstanding student services, offering robust employment opportunities. Next, situated in a student-centric city with budget-friendly costs in comparison to other cities in the UK, Glasgow Caledonian University focuses on hands-on, industry-focused learning with impressive graduate employment rates. The National College of Ireland provides a small, contemporary campus in Dublin with robust ties with the technology sector, internships, and employment prospects in one of Europe’s key technology hotspots.

Lastly, deciding which university and country to select depends on your son’s professional objectives, ideal learning atmosphere, budget, as well as plans for the future- whether he prefers a shorter course term, robust industrial connections, global exposure, or residing in a specific nation.
