Health

Is it possible to reverse diabetes and stop medication

Ans: Diabetes management is monitoring blood sugar levels within the normal range. By following a complex carbohydrate, good protein and low fat diet, you can bring about effective blood sugar control. Avoid high fat and sugar foods, foods containing refined cereals like red meat, maida, fries, packaged, fast foods, etc. as they will add excess calories in your diet and increase fat percentage. Exercise for at least 30 minutes for minimum 5 days a week. As the blood sugar levels are lowered, medication doses can be reduced or altered.

Question by Moinaddin - Apr 26, 2023Hindi

Health

Now a days we are hearing a lot on reversal of diabetes. We hear stories of chronic diabetic patient who were insulin dependant for many years getting free of diabetic medicine in a year's time and also of people who have landed up in ICU's after starting the programme. Can these stories be believed and weather reversal is really possible . Being a diabetic since the last 2 years would like to get a clarity from an expert like you.

Ans: Diabetes remission is a better term than reversal. Patient selection is important and it may not be possible in all. Diet and lifestyle changes are the key, with weight reduction if required. Need guidance with a team of a Doctor and a Registered Dietitan. Initially some medicines may also help with weight and then gradually tapered. Even after remission, regular monitoring may be needed as advised.

Question by Rattan - May 16, 2023Hindi

Health

I m suffering from diabetes problem since last 15 years and is on allopathic medicines. Is it reverser able .

Ans: Diabetes can be managed with lowering blood sugar levels by following a healthy lifestyle and dietary modifications. Increasing basal metabolic rate by adapting to a high complex carbohydrate and fiber rich diet, with good protein foods and low total and healthy fats will ensure less spikes in blood sugar levels. Exercises which include building muscle mass and lowering body fat will lower the incidence of hyperglycemia. Avoid processed, canned foods, sweets, alcohol, fatty foods, etc. As the blood sugar levels are lowered, medication doses may need to be altered.

I am 48 , Income: Take home 2.5 L / pm , PPF amount 47 L , NPS - 20 L , FD- 37 L , Life Insurance - 80 L, Expenses 75 k /pm . Please advice me a plan for 2 L income / pm from 2036.

Ans: Hello;

You may need a corpus of 6 Cr to generate a post-tax monthly income of 2 L+. (Assuming 6% annuity rate and 30% tax)

Assuming your existing investment stay and continue till 2035(PPF, NPS, FD) it may grow into a cumulative corpus of 2.93 Cr.(12.5 K pm into PPF+47 L @ 6.9%, 20 K pm into NPS+20 L @ 8%, FD of 37 L @ 7.4%)

So you need to fill the gap of (6-2.93=3.07 Cr) through monthly sip.

You may begin with a monthly sip of 1 L into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and step it up each year by a minimum of 3% to reach your target in 11 years.

Here the assumption is that you have term life insurance of 80 L with no maturity value.

If it's an endowment policy then assuming maturity value of 80 L you may attain your target with a flat monthly sip of 83 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds.

Make sure to move your gains from equity funds into liquid funds as you approach closer to your retirement to avoid it getting affected by market volatility.

Happy Investing;

Question by Ashok - Jan 15, 2025Hindi

Money

Hi Sir, I have following MF in my portfolio HDFC mid-cap Opportunity fund - 16.39lac ICICI Pru Large&Mid cap Fund - 9.96lac Nippon India large Cap fund - 10.15lac Nippon india small cap fund - 9.4lac ICICI pru Value discovery fund -9.35lac JM Flexicap fund - 7.39lac ICICI pru infrastructure fund 7.29lac HDFC large and mid cap fund - 6.29lac SBI long term equity fund - 4lac Motilal oswal midcap fund-25k In total 83lac. Please advise whether I can generate 75k per month income from the investment. Thank you in advance

Ans: Dear Ashok, Yes, you can generate ?75,000/month from your ?83 lakh investment portfolio with an average return of around 10-12% per year. Consider using SWP from your equity funds and rebalancing the portfolio to incorporate some safer, income-generating investments like debt funds for stability. Causion is if the returns goes below 12% in any of the Quarters your capital may deplete. and then you might have to reduce withdrawal. Suggesion is that withdraw 6% return only or increase your investments to 1.5 CR sothat your withdrawals exceed your rise in MF amount and your Capital is always protected.

Money

Dear sir, I have completed 8.7months and withdrawn the PF amount. But I have received the certificate from pension authority. Can I get the pension by submitting the certificate at EPFO office or I have to withdraw the money. What to do. Please guide

Ans: For eligibility under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), the minimum service requirement is 10 years of service. Unfortunately, with 8 years and 7 months of service, you do not meet the minimum 10-year requirement to be eligible for a monthly pension.
if you have withdrawn the PF amount, check whether your previous employment details were also included, if yes, then you may be eligible for EPS as your services cross 10 years. in that case, you can submit the request for eps pension.

Ans: Dear Sushant,
OCIs and POIs can invest in Indian mutual funds. However, only a few mutual funds are currently accepting investments from US and Canadian citizens. Below are the AMCs that currently accept L&T, UTI, PPFAS, Sundaram, and Canara Robeco. Other mutual fund houses are also slowly joining in. Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) are also eligible to invest in Indian SIP plans with life cover, just like Indian residents.
