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.

My Age 75 Fasting Sugar 110 . My PPBS 230 My Pre Dinner 220 Insulin intake Morning 30 Predinner 22 . Crazy for Sweets. HBA1C 8.5. Advice and Impact on future health

Ans: Your blood sugar levels are out of range. You can review your basal and bolus insulin dosage. If uncontrolled, long term high blood sugar levels can lead to complications thereby impacting future health. Reduce your sugar cravings by having a protein rich diet. Include high fiber foods in every meal to increase satiety. Include complex carbohydrates whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and dals. Avoid simple carbohydrates, which are processed, such as sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries, and namkeens. Have low fat and healthy oils like olive or mustard oil. Have low glycemic index foods. Focus on portion size. Adopt a daily exercise regimen.

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.

Health

I am nearing 70 years. My fasting blood sugar for 2023 and 2024 were 110 and 99 and HbA1c was 6.0 each respectively. Kindly advise.

Ans: HbA1c at 6.0 is in the prediabetes range. Prioritize fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables to improve insulin sensitivity. Limit refined carbohydrates like white bread and pastries to prevent blood sugar spikes. Include healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado for heart and metabolic health. Opt for lean protein sources (lentils, tofu, Greek yogurt) to balance meals. Stay well hydrated. Exercise regularly including strength training. Regular monitoring is essential.

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,
