Health

I m 47 years old with current weight at 76 kg hieght 5ft 7 inch. I had borderline diabetes with Hb1Ac. 6.8 , weight 84kg in June 22. With diet control n morning walk for one hour , Hb1Ac now in range of 5.6, Fasting sugar at 10. I am without sugar medicines since September 22. My weight has been stagnant at 76kg for last 6 months. Pls advise how further i can improve my blood glucose level n reduce my stagnant weight

Ans: I think you are doing quite well. You have managed to get off the diabtes medications and have lost 8 kg in about 7 months. Subsequent weight loss is going to be much slower. I think you just need to continue with what you are doing at present (in terms of diet and exercise) . Further weight loss is going to be a very slow process. Your HbA1C levels are reasonable now. You must however understand that if you have a genetic predisposition to diabetes, diet and exercise can at best delay the onset of diabetes but may not be able to completely prevent it in the long run.

I am 59 years old and diabetic for last 26 years. Recently my Hb1ac reading is 8.4 & fasting sugar level is 175 I am under medication of GLIMISAVE MV2 at half an hour before breakfast and GLURA M1000 after Breakfast with 3 glasses of water. I take GLIMISAVE MV2 half an hour before Dinner. I am fairly active and walk 4kms everyday without any break. I do have a fondness of sweets and addiction of tea(black & milk tea) without sugar added. My height is 163 cms and weight is 68 kg Please suggest me some remedies to correct my blood sugar level. Thankd

Ans: Managing blood sugar levels through diet is crucial for overall health. Choose foods with a low GI which will cause slower and more gradual increases in blood sugar levels. Examples include whole grains, legumes (such as lentils and chickpeas), non-starchy vegetables (like spinach and broccoli), and lean proteins (such as chicken and fish). Include high-fiber foods which slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Consume protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meat, legumes, etc. Sugary foods and refined carbohydrates (like white bread and sugary snacks) cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, so avoid them. Exercise regularly.

Hi, I am 36 yrs old and have been working in a PSU bank as a senior manager. But i feel i will not have much more growth here. I cant decide whther its better to resign and do a MBA abroad or do a MBA for working professionals and then seek another job. Could you suggest any courses which could help to get a better job with experience in retail banking sector.

Ans: Can try both and see where you get a better college. Actually there would be more scope doing MBA abroad for a student like you who is in Mid Career. In India most of the executive MBA courses are for students with 5 to 10 years of work experience. But do check the placements in the college before you decide.

Ans: Not much idea about Flame but it will surely not be among the top college.

Best way to find about the college is to look at the placement report and talk to the student of the college.
