Hello Doctor, I am 59 yrs old, 90 kgs, height 6'1", a pure vegetarian. Mine is basically a sitting job. Last July, while doing a routine check up, I found out that my Uric Acid had shot up to 7.60. In fact, my toenails had started coming off. My doctor then advised me to take Febutaz40 everyday for 3 months after which Uric Acid came down to 4.30. He then asked me to stop for 1 month and it again shot up to 7.50. He has now asked me to take 1 tablet every alternate day, now my Uric Acid count is 5.70. For the past few days, I have been experiencing swelling and pain in my feet around the ankles as well as in the toes and fingers. Sometimes it is a tingling pain. I have completed 3 months of Vitamin B12 ( Meganeuron OD Plus ) which now under my Doctors instructions I have stopped. I am also taking Vit D for the past 3 months and supposed to take for another 3 months. My Question is : Should I take Febutaz 40 everyday for Uric Acid or continue taking alternate day, as is now ? And what could the possible reason for this pain in the feet and the toes and fingers ? Should I continue with my Vit B12 medicine ? Last July, my HbA1c was 6.30 which I brought it down to 5.80 by changing my diet and walking exercise. I had stopped sugar intake totally for 6 months after which my HbA1c was down to 5.80. Now I have started on sugar intake but very limited quantity and that too once-twice a week. Now my HbA1c is 6.10. Is it okay or should I stop sugar intake totally ? Just for information during the past 10 months, my FBS is between 98 to 108 and PPBS is between 110 to 140. I am not taking any medicine for sugar control. My cholesterol is between 140 to 180. Could you please revert back to all my queries ? Thank you
Ans: Sir, from your history and background it look to me that you are focussed more on to your blood parameters and medication
Please shift your attention to
1.What is your diet?
2. How much do you take care of the dietary discipline?
3.How much physical activities do you do other than your activities of daily living?
4.How well do you sleep?
5.How well do you meet each day?
Reflect on these things
You will get the answer

I am 50 year old Man and no BP but sugar is lies between 120 to 167 after food and 90 to 157 in fasting. I am taking medicine glymate gp1 for last 2 years . 3month avg Glucose in blood is 6.8 Should I consult Endocrinologist or Dibetician Problem is is I feel pain in leg and in sole I feel pain and warm Please guide
Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. Given your blood sugar levels and the symptoms you're describing, it might be a good idea to consult with your physician. Diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy), which often leads to pain, tingling, or warmth in the legs and feet. An endocrinologist or a diabetic specialist can assess this and recommend appropriate treatments. Diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy), which often leads to pain, tingling, or warmth in the legs and feet. An endocrinologist or a diabetic specialist can assess this and recommend appropriate treatments. Managing your blood sugar levels through diet is crucial. Dietary modifications include opting for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and whole wheat bread instead of refined grains. Incorporate plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as green vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and bell peppers. Include healthy fats from sources like avocados, olive oil, and nuts. Foods high in fiber, such as beans, lentils, and oats are important to slow the absorption of sugar. Have lean protein sources from legumes, chicken, fish, turkey, etc Avoid sugary snacks, beverages, and desserts. Exercise regularly.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
