Question by Sateesh on Mar 20, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi, My current weight is 71 kg, height 172 and age is 49 years male. I am a type 2 diabetic for the last 5 years. Please suggest me suitable foods to take and foods to avoid. I want to bring down my weight to 66 kgs.

Ans: Given your age and current ailments it is not safe to change diet pattern without a proper history and monitoring of sugar levels for at least 1-2 weeks. You can visit a diabetes specialist or a naturopath for the same and then draw out your diet plan accordingly. Since diabetics are also prone to easy muscle loss, your plan should be a combination of diet and right exercises.

hello komal mam, i m 40 years, mother of a child age-14, i m diabetic, is it ok that my weight is approx 56 to 60. and food should i take in normal diet or routine ? i have no time to morning walk, but my routine is evening walk ie. from my office to my home. my sugar is 200 as pp. pls suggest me. what can i do to control my sugar ?

Ans: Your ideal body weight is based on your Body Mass Index (BMI). Being a diabetic, blood sugar levels need to be controlled and maintained within the normal range. Follow a balanced diet which includes whole grain cereals which include complex and high fiber carbohydrates like brown rice, brown bread, ragi, multi grains etc. Consume low calorie fruits and vegetables; include lean meat such as egg white, fish and chicken without skin and organ. Avoid high fat and sugar foods, foods containing refined cereals like red meat, maida, fries, packaged, fast foods, etc. as they will add excess calories in your diet and increase fat percentage. Exercise for at least 30-40 minutes daily for at least 5 days a week. Include aerobic exercises like walking or running and strengthening exercises to increase lean mass.

But with treatment and lifestyle changes, you can control your blood glucose levels. You need to review the basal and bolus Insulin dosage to get blood sugar levels controlled.

Career

Hello Career Gurus, I have a PGDBM which is pretty dated back to the year 2006. I find that the entire canvas has changed with the digital revolution making me somewhat out of place. Although, i managed to traverse successfully career-wise and secured management role but sometimes I face self-doubt whether I would be able ro sustain myself in this back-biting and nasty politics driven corporate world. I have jettisoned plans several times to go fof masters into enterpreneural management or data analytics. I am worried about the next step. Should I take a sabbatical considering that I have the usual middle-class constraints spelled out as obligation to family esp. ageing parents with my better-half playing stalemate on her commitment towards helping me and financial liabilities as well. What should I do ? Please suggest. Thank you !

Ans: You can always do part time courses along with your job and then scout for relevant jobs. A lot of certificate courses are available. Even top B schools do conduct short term management courses which is another option to look out for. Leaving your job is definitely not recommended. About taking sabbatical, it will depend on how will it affect your promotion in your company.
