Now my confusion is at this stage can I control my sugar levels only with diet exercise weight management or should i compulsorily take tablet. I have got this through genetic.. Tablets mandatory or lifestyle management is reversible.. Please help

Ans: Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle disorder. Genetic component need to be tackled through epigenetics that is living over the genetics with a lifestyle modification. Looking at your HbA1C as 8.5 you need work hard to bring in the dietary discipline and moderate intensity exercices
Give it all your try for three months. Meet a functional nutrition. Parallel keep checking your sugar levels

I want to take drop for JEE 2026 in JEE 2025 January attempt I got 40% I know it is very bad I studied online from PW (Arjuna + Lakshya) but I did only one thing that is backlog covering I watch all the lectures in 2x and make notes only not done any questions practice because my whole time gets busy in covering backlogs and I get distracted while doing the online preparation so now I finally decided to go to an offline coaching centre in Indore ( ALLEN DWK Campus) currently I live in Sagar. So sir please can you guide me what to do now and what is the best dropper strategy I should follow please sir
Ans: Hello Dear.
You have made a wise choice by joining offline classes for JEE preparation. You have already completed the syllabus and the examination process. You understand your strengths and weaknesses. Prepare a list of topics where you excel and those that need improvement. Attend all classes consistently. Clarify any doubts regarding topics and concepts you may have missed. Take all tests conducted in the classes. If possible, enroll in a top online test series platform. Aim to solve as many previous question papers as you can. Create a "Rankers File" for yourself, including all the essential formulas, summaries, and handwritten notes. This file will help you quickly revise all topics at any time. Maintain a safe distance from electronic gadgets. Concentrate solely on your studies and strive to study a minimum of 8-10 hours per day. To achieve success, hard work is essential. Best of luck for your bright future ahead.
