Hi. My mother is 63 year old who is a diabetic and is on her medicines. For past 2 weeks, her sugar level has increased which is 350 fasting and 480 pp. It's not getting under control. She does want to take insulin. Pls help how to control it.

Ans: For such out of range blood sugar levels, it is advisable to take medication or insulin as advised by your family physician. Monitor her diet with low carbohydrate and high fiber foods like whole grains, vegetables, beans, etc. Avoid refined foods, fruit juices, sugary foods, etc. Lean protein foods like beans, low fat dairy products, egg whites will blunt the glycemic index. Make sure she remains physically active.

Hello Dr. I am 43 years old lady. Last year I reduced Sugar (Fasting) level from 311 to 105 by using Ayurvedic treatment but I ended it in between. Now the level is again rising. I tried doctor treatment, but they increased doze every time I went for check up and the doctor said that I would lead to insulin levels some day. I want to control insulin levels by not just suppressing it with medicines, but I want to actually treat it. Is there any way to control insulin hormones in our body ??

Ans: Please adopt lifestyle changes along with medications
To make the Insulin effective, you need to bring up your exercise intensity
May be brisk walk 30 mts a day five days a week is good

Health

Dear Doctor my mother who is 83 year old, is type2 Diabetic since more than 10 years. Her fasting blood glucose is 109 mg and post meals is 185 mg. Which is considered very high. Kindly let us know how to come down it. She maintain healthy life style

Ans: The blood sugar levels and how tight control should be done is also influenced by age.
Her fasting blood sugar levels are acceptable. Post meal (2 hrs after the meal) can be in range of 70 to 180 mg%. Therefore, she is doing largely fine on that also. You can reduce post meal sugar level by some dietary modifications and cutting down on sugary and carbohydrate meals. Also, adding salads and fibers would also help.
It would be helpful to get to know her HbA1c levels so, I would get a sense of her overall sugar control.

Sir i am diabetic from last 20 years i am taking medicine but fasting sugar does not come in control and comes as 175-180 however random readings and after 2 hours sugar readings are well in control around 135-145. sir suggest what to do

Ans: It’s essential to address high fasting blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes effectively. Discuss your fasting blood sugar levels and any other symptoms you may be experiencing with your family physician. Focus on a balanced diet with whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables. Avoid table sugar, honey, jams, fruit juice, and candy. Limit white bread, sweets, fast foods, alcohol, chocolates and processed foods. Regular physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Dr Chandrakant Lahariya......I am 73 yrs old diabetic ,from the last 10-12 days my fasting sugar has increased suddenly to 240-250 from 120-130....I am taking Metformin 1000 ,Glimepiride 2mg and 100mg Septaglyptin everyday ...kindly advice as to how I can bring my fasting sugar down.THANKS

Ans: Hi Vasant Ji,
Please check whether you have done any change in your diet. Please check your blood sugar levels 2 hr after breakfast and pre lunch and pre-dinner. That will provide a profile of blood sugar levels.

A comprehensive blood check up including HbA1c, lipid profile, liver function test and information on your weight and height and BMI will help me in guiding the treatment. You might benefit from insulin as well

Career

Sir can you guide about abroad institute for neuropsychology after mbbs.Or road map from MBBS to neuropsychology

Ans: Hello Arvinder,

Firstly, thank you for reaching out to us. To answer your question, if you're an MBBS graduate looking to pursue neuropsychology abroad, the typical roadmap would involve first gaining a solid foundation in psychology or neuroscience, often through a master's or post-graduate diploma. Many institutes offer specialized courses or programs in neuropsychology, such as those at universities in the UK, US, or Canada. You'd want to look for programs that bridge the gap between medicine and psychology, like MSc in Neuropsychology or Clinical Neuroscience. After completing your postgraduate degree, you might consider further research or clinical training opportunities, often leading to a PhD or professional certifications. You’ll be combining your medical background with psychological expertise to understand brain-behavior relationships, which is a fascinating field!

Hello sir, my name is Priya I got 77.81%ile (OBC NCL) in jee mains 2025. Can I get seat in any nit or iiit with any branch, home state Telangana. Also also sir any suggestions to increase my percentile in April attempt?

Ans: Hello Priya
as per last year's cutoff you are not eligible for JOSAA counselling. You can improve your score and get admissions in your dream college. Control negatives, don't give into the temptation of marking the option if you are not sure, options are designed that way, you commit a mistake and you will get a wrong answer there waiting to be marked.
30-35 questions correctly answered without any negative marking can get you your desired college.
All the best.
