Question by ALOKE on Jul 25, 2024Hindi

Health

Hello Kolmal Madam, Alok this side. I am 55 yrs old, height 5' 10", weight 78-79. Till last yr my weight was 75-76 kg. The weight has increased 2- kg in last few months. I was prediabetic for last few years with HBA1C around 64-6.5. This January my HBA1C was 6.9 and yesterday it was test to be 7.4. BP has also increased to 97-152. ECG was found to be normal. I need to reverse my diabetes, and I am confident I can do it. I have decided to stop carb at night totally, will do exercise twice daily, and sleep daily for at least 7 hrs. Are these steps sufficient? I sincerely need your advise. Regards

Ans: I am happy to hear that you’re motivated to take control of your health! Your plan to cut carbs at night, exercise twice daily, and ensure adequate sleep are excellent steps. However, there are some additional strategies that might help you control your diabetes and improve your overall health. Focus on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks and reduce carbohydrate intake. Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil in your diet. Weight management should be a priority. Focus on losing fat percentage and increasing muscle mass by avoiding refined foods and following strength training exercises. Even a modest weight loss of 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve blood sugar levels. Stay well hydrated and monitor your progress with the help of your doctor or a qualified dietician.

Question by abhicrpark@gmail.com - Mar 07, 2023Hindi

Health

I m 47 years old with current weight at 76 kg hieght 5ft 7 inch. I had borderline diabetes with Hb1Ac. 6.8 , weight 84kg in June 22. With diet control n morning walk for one hour , Hb1Ac now in range of 5.6, Fasting sugar at 10. I am without sugar medicines since September 22. My weight has been stagnant at 76kg for last 6 months. Pls advise how further i can improve my blood glucose level n reduce my stagnant weight

Ans: I think you are doing quite well. You have managed to get off the diabtes medications and have lost 8 kg in about 7 months. Subsequent weight loss is going to be much slower. I think you just need to continue with what you are doing at present (in terms of diet and exercise) . Further weight loss is going to be a very slow process. Your HbA1C levels are reasonable now. You must however understand that if you have a genetic predisposition to diabetes, diet and exercise can at best delay the onset of diabetes but may not be able to completely prevent it in the long run.

I have transferred some of my Mutual Fund investments to my daughter as a gift. Do I need to make a gift deed? Do I need to register it? What will it cost me to register it?

Ans: As on today transferring or gifting mutual fund units is a difficult topic(gray area) that needs to be addressed by the regulators. When you say you have transferred, I suppose you have redeemed your holding and purchased units in the name of your daughter who is a major(above 18 years). No need for gift deed in such case.

Other ways could be through nomination, joint holding

Hlo sir/ma'am maine 2022 me 10th kiya h uske baad mera 2 saal ka gap h maine 2024 me 11th class me admission Li hu kya main 2026 jee advance ka paper de sakti hun kya

Ans: Hello.
To appear for JEE (Adv) you have to clear first JEE (Main). It will be difficult for you to match with the syllabus after a huge gap of 2 years. But nothing is impossible. If you qualify in JEE (Main) cutoff, you certainly can appear for JEE (Adv)

(3) Work on Projects for web development, AI, or mobile apps
(4) Create an attractive LinkedIn profile. Attend tech webinars, hackathons, and coding contests to connect with industry peers.
