Dear Komal, I am diabetic. Sugar average is 160. Do I need to completely give up sweets? I eat rice for one meal every day and I am 45 years old. Thank you, Arshi

Diabetes is a metabolic condition which can be controlled by carbohydrate management.

If your average blood sugar level is 160 mg/dl, it probably is indicative of a borderline diabetic condition.

Complete restraint from sugar is not the solution for blood sugar control. You must manage the total amount of carbohydrates in your diet. Avoid high carb foods like maida, sweets, chocolates, fast foods, desserts, fruit juices, etc.

Opt for a high fibre diet.

Have lots of complex carbs like whole grain cereals, pulses, vegetables and high protein foods to blunt the rise in blood sugar and sustain muscle growth.

Adopt a fitness regimen that involves cardio and strength-building exercises. This will help increase metabolism and thereby control spikes in your blood sugar level.

Career

Hello Sir, I passed Class 12th with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) from the CBSE board in 2025. Now I want to prepare for NEET and become a doctor. So, can I take Biology as an additional subject from the NIOS board and appear for NEET? Are both CBSE and NIOS marksheets valid for admission to AIIMS and other government medical colleges?

Ans: Hello dear
Yes, you can take Biology as an additional subject from NIOS and appear for NEET, as both CBSE and NIOS are recognized boards by NTA. For admission to AIIMS and other government medical colleges, marksheets from CBSE (for PCM) and NIOS (for Biology) are valid, provided you meet the eligibility criteria of having studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects in 10+2. However, it is highly recommended to review the brochure published by the NTA and, if possible, clarify by sending an email to the appropriate authorities for full proof authentication.

Good luck.

Good evening sir. My daughter has got CSE admission in mit bangalore and also akhilesh das engineering college delhi. What do you suggest. We reside in uttar pradesh

Ans: Hello dear.
No doubt, CSE @ MIT is a good choice, but for a female candidate, it is not advisable to prefer Bangalore due to distance and other factors. Consider Akhilesh Das Engg College if possible. Ultimately, the decision and choice will be yours.

Physiotherapist, Nutritionist - Answered on Jul 27, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 25, 2025Hindi

Health

Why does my back hurt even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours? Could it be my posture? I'm suffering from mild but persistent lower back pain that doesn't go away even after a good night's sleep. Actually I don't work out, but I sit for long hours at my desk. Could this be muscle weakness or a spine issue? What exercises or physiotherapy approach can fix this? Please help

Ans: Hey, long hours of sitting and no workouts can lead to weak core and glutes, causing postural back pain. It’s likely muscle imbalance, not a spine issue. Start with:
• Pelvic tilts
• Glute bridges
• Cat-cow stretches
• Short walks every 1–2 hours
Strengthening your core and improving posture can reduce the pain over time. Physio can speed this up if it persists.
