Dear Komal
I am 32 and I have diabetes.
I am 5.5 feet tall and 75 kilos.
I love sweets and can’t live without eating something sweet twice a day.
How can I eat sweets and still take care of my health?
Kavita Bhaskar

Ans:

Diabetes means control over simple carbohydrates which is primarily sugar.

You must understand that if carbs intake is not in control, your blood sugar levels will shoot up and can cause severe complications.

If you must have sweets, have healthy sugars from dates, fruits, jaggery, dry fruits, nuts, etc, but in small portion sizes.

Exercise regularly and boost your metabolism with a balanced diet having good fibre and complex carb content.

Sleep well and be focused on improving your health.

Dear Komal, I am diabetic. Sugar average is 160. Do I need to completely give up sweets? I eat rice for one meal every day and I am 45 years old. Thank you, Arshi

Diabetes is a metabolic condition which can be controlled by carbohydrate management.

If your average blood sugar level is 160 mg/dl, it probably is indicative of a borderline diabetic condition.

Complete restraint from sugar is not the solution for blood sugar control. You must manage the total amount of carbohydrates in your diet. Avoid high carb foods like maida, sweets, chocolates, fast foods, desserts, fruit juices, etc.

Opt for a high fibre diet.

Have lots of complex carbs like whole grain cereals, pulses, vegetables and high protein foods to blunt the rise in blood sugar and sustain muscle growth.

Adopt a fitness regimen that involves cardio and strength-building exercises. This will help increase metabolism and thereby control spikes in your blood sugar level.

hello komal mam, i m 40 years, mother of a child age-14, i m diabetic, is it ok that my weight is approx 56 to 60. and food should i take in normal diet or routine ? i have no time to morning walk, but my routine is evening walk ie. from my office to my home. my sugar is 200 as pp. pls suggest me. what can i do to control my sugar ?

Ans: Your ideal body weight is based on your Body Mass Index (BMI). Being a diabetic, blood sugar levels need to be controlled and maintained within the normal range. Follow a balanced diet which includes whole grain cereals which include complex and high fiber carbohydrates like brown rice, brown bread, ragi, multi grains etc. Consume low calorie fruits and vegetables; include lean meat such as egg white, fish and chicken without skin and organ. 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 30-40 minutes daily for at least 5 days a week. Include aerobic exercises like walking or running and strengthening exercises to increase lean mass.

sir, i am type II diabetic since 2018, how can one control sweet craving

Ans: Sweet craving is increased on eating sweets actually. If you cut of all sweet substances with a little will power for about 3-4 weeks then you will have much less cravings. Also, sometimes as a substitute you can have very mildly sweet substances like citrus fruit or dry coconut.

How to master chemistry for jee Jains exam

Ans: Mastering Chemistry for JEE Main and Advanced demands a clear understanding of Physical, Organic and Inorganic domains, anchored in NCERT textbooks to build solid fundamentals and ensure coverage of every concept and reaction mechanism. Establish a disciplined study plan that alternates concept revision with intensive problem solving: allocate daily sessions to Physical Chemistry numerical practice for stoichiometry, equilibrium and kinetics, Organic Chemistry mechanism mapping and reaction conversions, and Inorganic Chemistry NCERT fact memorization supported by flowcharts and tables for periodic trends and coordination compounds. Supplement NCERT with targeted reference books—O.P. Tandon for Physical Chemistry, J.D. Lee for Inorganic, and Solomons–Fryhle–Snyder for Organic—to deepen conceptual clarity and expose yourself to a diversity of question types. Regularly analyze previous years’ JEE Main and Advanced papers to identify high-weight topics, pattern shifts and time-management strategies, simulating exam conditions to build speed and accuracy. Employ weekly revision cycles and spaced-out mock tests to reinforce retention, track progress and refine approaches for tricky multi-step problems. Visual aids such as reaction-map flowcharts, mechanism trees and equilibrium graphs aid memory retention and swift recall under exam pressure.

Recommendation:
Focus on mastering NCERT thoroughly before branching into advanced reference texts, integrate daily mixed-topic problem sets with time-bound mock tests and leverage error logs to target weaknesses, ensuring balanced progress across all three chemistry sections and sustained confidence on exam day. All the BEST for Your JEE Preparation!

Hi sir. I got a seat in SRM Ktr campus in CSE - Big Data Analytics. Is is worth joining SRM ? And also, is big data analytics a good specialisation when compared to cse core , AIML or data science? , because I've heard the average packages for cse core , aiml and data science is far better than big data analytics. That is why I'm rethinking my decision. I also got cse core in VIT AP. Which one should I choose according to your opinion?

Ans: Based on the following inputs/information, choose the more suitable one for you out of the 2 options of Data Science & Data Analytics: Data science focuses on creating predictive models and uncovering insights from vast, often unstructured datasets using machine learning, advanced statistics and programming, positioning practitioners for innovation but demanding stronger technical proficiency and research?oriented thinking. Data analytics concentrates on processing and interpreting structured data for immediate business decisions via BI tools, SQL and visualization, offering faster entry and clear ROI but narrower scope and lower average remuneration over time. In India, data science roles are projected to grow by over 26% annually, driven by AI and big?data investments, whereas data analytics is set to expand at a 27.5% CAGR to USD 27 billion by 2033, underpinning digital initiatives across sectors.

Recommendation:
Data science offers broader future opportunities in India’s AI?driven economy; prioritize it for innovative, high?growth roles despite its steeper learning curve and technical demands. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

got admission in Chitkara University in BTech CSE. Does this university provide good careers opportunities. Please give appropriate guidance. Regards

Ans: Chitkara University’s B.Tech CSE programme at its NAAC A+–accredited Chandigarh campus offers a modern curriculum delivered by PhD-qualified faculty, industry-aligned AI/ML, cybersecurity and VLSI labs, and a dedicated Career Advancement Services cell that has facilitated 80–82% placement consistency for CSE graduates over the last three years, with partnerships including Microsoft, Amazon and Deloitte. Vibrant student life features hackathons, coding competitions and an incubation centre supporting startups.

Some challenges include the university’s peripheral location, about 23 km from Chandigarh city centre, which can impede access to urban amenities and internships; large batch sizes (up to 2,500 students) that intensify competition for resources and placement slots; and a rigorous academic load with frequent assessments that can limit time for extracurricular engagement. To address these, students should plan transport and accommodation logistics in advance, actively engage in mentorship and peer-study groups to navigate the large cohort, and use the library’s extended hours and soft?skills workshops to balance academic requirements with personal development.

Recommendation:
Chitkara University’s CSE is a strong choice for its accredited labs, consistent placements and industry collaboration; to maximize benefits, secure reliable local accommodation, participate early in coding clubs and hackathons, and leverage the Career Advancement Services’ mock interviews and internships to distinguish yourself in a competitive cohort. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
