Is the value of fasting sugar 130 very high for a person of 67 years age?

Ans: It indicates a possibility of diabetes. However, to make proper diagnosis, atleast three blood tests of Fasting blood sugar, 2 hr post prandial blood sugar and HbA1c testing should be done. If needed oral glucose tolerance test can also be done.

People with deranged blood sugar also have other deranged parameters such as choleraterol, blood pressure etc, which are termed ad cardio metabolic syndrome,

Please visit a physician and consult.

Checked my sugar level few days back and it was Fasting 93 and PP 141. My age is 49 years male. Is it very alarming and what precautions should I take?

Ans: You may do HbA1c tests also. PP 141 is just in the range for impaired glucose tolerance. Appropriate diet, daily exercise/ walking and weight reduction if needed- this should be the plan.

Health

I m 58 yrs old. My fasting sugar remains at 70 while PP moves to 170 level. Is it ok?

Ans: Normal PP levels should be below 140 mg/dl 2 hours after a meal. The rise in post-meal blood sugar could be due to various factors, such as the type of food consumed, insulin resistance, or other health conditions. Consult your family physician to discuss these readings and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise) and potential medication adjustments may be necessary.

Career

I am aged 49 with a 27 year career in IT - 21.5 years as individual contributor and rest in leadership role. In my last employment, I was asked to go after successfully executing a project; later on, I found that they hired me just for that project only. For the last 4 months, I have been applying for jobs but it looks like that my age goes against me. I have completed a four month course in AIML, learning new programming languages and keeping myself abreast with the latest trends. The differentiating aspect of my leadership is being hands-on; while the team gains confidence, my peers and leaders feel that I am being too indulgent. In some of the interviews that really went well, I was rejected as my technical capabilities seems to have threatened the incumbents. I have achieved the financial freedom and doesn't require a salary to keep the kitchen fires buring but I crave an engagement to retain my knowledge. Please guide

Ans: Hello

As you want to work, suggest you keep exploring opportunities.

Since you have achieved financial freedom, you may consider freelance assignments or even project based assignments, this will ensure you are working and at the same time bring varied experiences.
