Ans: Hello. One method to understand when your sugars are going high and which foods are triggering it would be to wear a CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) for 2 weeks. This will give you all the information you need to adjust the medicines and make dietary changes as needed.

Health

I m 67 years age and my hba1c is 10.2 and fasting sugar is 243 I m taking insulin 12 units of Novo Rapid flexi pen 3 times In a day morning, afternoon and night before food and Toujio 12 units at 5 pm.

Ans: It is advisable to consult your physician about your insulin dosage as your blood sugar levels are very out of range. Dietary modifications can include foods like complex carbohydrates like whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats), legumes, and vegetables. Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil and lean proteins like fish, poultry, tofu, and beans. Limit sugary foods, refined carbs, and saturated fats and stay physically active.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I am not sure if you are looking for financial advice or relationship, but the general rule of thumb is that if you have any worries when you think of getting married, it's best to take things slow. As for the financial burden of getting married, it is important for both partners to contribute and shoulder the responsibilities. Things are much easier when

Hi,i am a female,i have had a lot of sexual intercourse before, and now I'm dating a guy who is a virgin,i told him the truth and he accepted me and we are in our second year of dating, i still can't get rid of the guilt i have for not being able to give him my virginity,what hurts me the most is, when my exes see and know about my boyfriend and me,they will laugh at him for dating someone like me, someone they once fucked,what should i do?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I get that it's tricky but you have to understand that it's all in your head. Your exes might not even care, or even if they do, it does not matter. Your present partner doesn't have an issue with your past, and neither should you. What you are concerned about is a mere social construct. So every time you feel this way, make yourself understand that there's nothing to be guilty about.
Best Wishes.

HI Sir I want to invest in Physical Silver bars & coins. Can I get good returns in Silver in maybe next 2 to 3 years. Also want to know whether I can Sell silver bars at the same trending price?

Ans: Hello;

Instead of investing in physical silver, you may invest in silver mutual funds/ETFs.

This will not require any safe deposit locker, making charges and GST.

You may sell it whenever you want.

Also it pegged to the price of physical silver in India.

Question by Ruhi - Mar 04, 2025Hindi

Career

I completed my 12 in 2020 with pcb after this I give entrance and got admission in govt college and completed my d pharmacy at the age of 19 . Since childhood I always want to wearing white coat but after seeing my family condition I decide to give govt job exam in pharmacy field then I give esic pharmacist aiims raipur but not got selected in any a lot of hard work and sleep less night and next month rrb pharmacist exam held I feel very low I m 21 year already I belong middle class family and my father is sick I thought i was never selected what should I do

Ans: Hello dear,
You are not the only one facing critical problems in life. Yet, you completed your pharmacy degree at just 19. I believe you took the job examination only once and felt frustrated. Many candidates have applied multiple times before being selected. Don't lose hope; keep trying until you achieve success. Wasting sleepless nights won’t solve anything. You have limited time to prepare for the RRB Pharmacist examination next month. Wake up and work hard to pass it and fulfill your dreams! At just 21, you have plenty of time to reach your goals. Take care of your father while also preparing for your exams. Keep faith in God. Best of luck for your bright future ahead.

Question by BHARAT - Feb 09, 2025Hindi

Money

My wife is retired Her income from STCG from debt funds in this FY is 61000 Her income from LTCG from debt funds is 499000 If she invests Rs 61000 in ELSS will IT DEPT allow rebate of 61000 under section 80c and if so, her taxable income being 499000, will she get rebate under section 87A under the old tax regime

Ans: 01. Kindly note that Tax Rebate u/s 87A is not available if your taxable income exceeds Rs.5,00,000.00, in old tax regime also. I feel in this case taxable income would be more under different heads like Pension & Interest Income etc.
02. Deduction u/s 80-C would be available, if you invest in ELSS. This will effect your other income Like Salary/Pension, STCG & Income from Interest etc.
Most welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.
