Question by Balkrishna on Mar 06, 2024Hindi

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.

Question by Sonia - Mar 05, 2024Hindi

Health

My fasting sugar is 105 and hb1ac is 6.40 I weigh 94 kg n I'm 48 yrs old

Ans: An HbA1c of 6.4 is indicative of pre-diabetes. To control spikes of blood sugar levels lifestyle modifications are necessary. Consume a balanced diet that includes complex carbohydrates and high-fiber foods like whole grains, oats, dahlia, fruits, and vegetable. Focus on foods with a low glycemic index which will prevent rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. Avoid sugary foods and processed simple carbohydrates (such as white bread or white pasta), chocolates, fast foods, etc., especially on an empty stomach. Include good quality protein foods in every meal. Engage in regular physical activity, as exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hi, I am working professional in an NGO. My salary is 40000/- per month. I have investments in mf and stocks of upto 25 lacs. I have not yet filled ITR till now. How much tax would be applicable to me in this scenario ??

Ans: 01. Your information for tax calculation is not complete. How ever, I can tell you broadly that based on your Salary Income of Rs.4.80 (L), no tax would be payable. 02. As for as your Stocks & MF Investments are concerned, unless you sell some stocks or MFs, theses are not taxable (since there is no income in your hands).
03. You should file your ITR on regular basis, to avoid any complications later on.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Ans: Institutional accounts are for corporates, if you have a company pvt ltd or llp you need to add the investing and trading clauses in your MOA and AOA and then apply with any SEBI registered broker (https://www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/other/OtherAction.do?doRecognisedFpi=yes&intmId=30).
