I am 62 years old my sugar levels fasting 92 PP 81 HbA1C 6.3. Till date I have not taken any medicine for sugar. Am to start taking medicine for sugar now onwards. Thank you

Ans: HbA1c of 6.3 indicates prediabetes. To bring down your blood sugar levels, opt for foods with a low glycemic index (GI) to minimize blood sugar spikes like whole grains, bulgur, barley, oats, beans, and lentils. Include high-fiber foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Avoid foods and beverages high in added sugars, and fat. Reducing portion sizes can help manage calorie intake and maintain a moderate weight and regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity.

I want to retire at 55 my age is 45 life expectancy 80 current monthly expenses is 20000 how much need amount for retirement

Ans: Dear Friend, your question is incomplete; you need to share many points, like what your liabilities are, what earnings you are going to work for, and we can create a hypothesis depending on what you have shared. which can be partially correct. You need to accumulate around ?1 to 1.1 crore by age 55 to retire comfortably with ?20,000/month in today’s value for 25 years. Review annually and invest consistently in equity mutual funds, PPF, or NPS depending on your risk profile. Regards, Nitin Narkhede -Founder, Prosperity Lifestyle Hub,

I am 38 years old divorced men and I loss 18 lakh in option trading now a days I have no capital and not any income source mentality fully harassed can any body help me ,7 loan EMI Defaulter and 2 credit card defaulter please help

Ans: At 38, after a divorce and losing ?18 lakhs in options trading, with no income and multiple loan and credit card defaults, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. But this isn’t the end. First, speak to a credit counselor or financial advisor—many offer free services. Consider a one-time loan settlement with banks or restructuring. Focus on finding any stable income—gig work, freelancing, or part-time jobs—to begin rebuilding. Mental health support is just as important; talk to someone. You’re not alone, and this phase, while hard, can be turned around one step at a time. Keep hope alive. Regards, Nitin Narkhede -Founder, Prosperity Lifestyle Hub,
