what is effect of root vegetables on diabetis ? if so which one to avoid totally

Ans: Root vegetables can be beneficial for people with diabetes due to their antioxidant, other vitamins, minerals and fiber content. They help stabilize blood sugar levels and are versatile for cooking. Some root vegetables that you can include in your diet are carrots, radishes, salsify, beets, turnips, celeriac, and rutabagas. However, moderation is key, as they still contain carbohydrates. Eating too many carbohydrates in one sitting can spike your blood sugar. Avoid excessive consumption of starchy root vegetables like potatoes.

Career

Sir i have a rank 33k in VITEEE but wasnt able to get into any ECE or CSE branch in VIT chennai but my friends with ranks of 70k+ got in is there any way??

Ans: Possible Reasons for This Discrepancy
Counselling Round Differences:

VIT counselling happens in multiple rounds. If your friends participated in later rounds, the cutoffs may have relaxed due to withdrawals.

Some seats may open up in sliding or mop-up rounds.

Category of Fee:

Your friends might have opted for higher fee categories (Category 2, 3, etc.), while you may have applied under Category 1, where cutoffs are stricter.

Campus/Branch Preferences:

Check if they selected less popular CSE/ECE specializations (e.g., CSE with Business Systems, or ECE IoT) rather than core branches.

Incorrect Preference Order:

Sometimes, students miss out because they placed less probable branches higher in preference order.
