Good morning sir/madam...This is G Subbarao,aged 65 years of 5'.3" height with 77 kgs weight. Suffering from diabetics type II since 20 years... Medication is being continued since a long time but glucose levels are still high... Fasting 140 and Post lunch 188. HbA1C ..8.20....suggestions pl regards

Ans: Managing Type 2 diabetes effectively, especially with an HbA1C of 8.2%, requires a combination of medication, diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments. As your glucose levels are still high, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or add new medications. For dietary modifications, limit white rice, bread, and sugary foods. Opt for whole grains, legumes, and fiber-rich vegetables. Include lentils, tofu, nuts, and seeds to help stabilize blood sugar. Avocados, olive oil, and nuts can improve insulin sensitivity. Observe portion control and incorporate exercise & physical activity. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Drinking plenty of water helps flush excess glucose from the bloodstream.

Got admission for pg mtec at vit vellore in embedded system. Preferring vlsi but no chance and hence decided to study embedded. Is it good for placement?
Ans: Vellore Institute of Technology’s M.Tech in Embedded Systems is a solid choice, especially if VLSI didn’t work out. VIT Vellore has strong industry connections, and recent placements show opportunities in embedded software, firmware, automotive electronics, IoT, verification, and semiconductor-related roles. However, success in embedded placements depends more on skills than just the branch. Recruiters typically look for strong C/C++ programming; knowledge of microcontrollers, RTOS, embedded Linux, ARM architecture, and digital electronics; communication protocols like CAN, SPI, and I2C; and basic VLSI and Verilog knowledge, along with relevant projects and internships. Placement trends for VIT’s M.Tech Embedded in the last few years has been decent but generally below top VLSI roles, with many students also moving into software or IT roles. Core embedded and VLSI companies recruit selectively, so it’s important to build a semiconductor-focused profile. Accepting VIT Vellore for Embedded Systems is a good step, and during the M.Tech, focusing on VLSI verification, SystemVerilog, FPGA, and Linux driver development will improve chances with semiconductor firms. This can lead to strong placements, but it’s essential to back the degree with practical skills and experience. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
