I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Your HbA1c of 7.7 shows diabetes is not under good control even though fasting sugar is 89.

2. HbA1c reflects average sugars over 3 months, so even small rises after meals can keep it high.

3. Thyroid dysfunction (TSH 7) can affect metabolism and worsen blood sugar control.

4. Vitamin D and iron deficiency can add to fatigue and indirectly impact diabetes management.

5. Correcting thyroid, Vitamin D and iron deficiency will support better sugar control.

6. Focus on diet, exercise, regular medicines and review with your doctor to bring HbA1c down.

I am an ENT specialist with over 6 years of clincial practice and in this time I have tried to balance hospital work with building my own setup. Currently I work as Consultant at Meridian Hospital Kolathur and also as visiting consultant at VIHAA Hospital Anna Nagar. Along with this I started SCOPE ENT CLINIC in Villivakkam, which is my own space to treat patients with more time n focus. Running a clinic teaches you different kind of responsibility, not only treatment but also trust, making sure patient feels heard and safe. My practice covers a wide range of ENT issues, from common ear infections, sinus problems, throat disorders to more complex surgical cases. I try to focus on giving indiviualised treatment plans, because each patient story is differnt even if the diagnosis sounds similar. Working in multiple hospitals also let me collabrate with other specialities which is important when dealing with complicated ENT cases linked to allergy, pediatrics or even neuro. Founding my own clinic was both challenging and rewarding. Some days are hard, managing staff, handling emergencies, ensuring things run smooth.. but it gave me chance to create an environment where patients get continuity of care. For me ENT is not just about procedures but also education, I try to explain conditions in simple words, guide on prevention and lifestyle changes that can reduce recurrnce. Over these years, what matters most to me is not just how many cases I handled but the connections built with patients and their families. I want to keep growing, keep learning new techniques and stay updated with advances in ENT, but at the same time keep the human touch alive in practice.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hba1c of 7.7% suggests that you have diabetes, as it is above the normal range. Generally, anything over 6.5% indicates diabetes, while 5.7 to 6.4% is considered prediabetes. Your fasting blood sugar of 89 is a normal result, though, which might appear a bit confusing. The Hba1c measures average blood sugar levels over 2-3 months, so it’s possible for it to be elevated even if a single fasting glucose test appears normal. Vitamin D and iron deficiencies have not been shown to significantly affect Hba1c levels directly, but if your iron deficiency is related to anemia, certain types like Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia or hemolytic anemia might lead to inaccurate Hba1c results. Regarding your TSH level of 7, it suggests hypothyroidism, as it is elevated above the typical reference range (normally up to around 4.0 to 4.5). Hypothyroidism can impact metabolic processes, and it might contribute to potential symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or elevated cholesterol, but doesn’t directly impact Hba1c readings. Addressing thyroid function is vital, and treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy. For iron and vitamin D deficiencies, supplementation under guided dosage from a healthcare provider is crucial. Ensuring balanced diet, and perhaps increasing sun exposure for vitamin D might also be beneficial. Follow-up with a healthcare professional is recommended to monitor these conditions. If you haven’t had specific tests recently, a full thyroid panel and an assessment of different types of anemia would be useful. Managing these issues will provide a more complete picture of your health, and helps determine if your Hba1c level is valid or if there’s another underlying cause that should be addressed. Regular follow-up with your doctor to oversee any ongoing or new management plans is important. If your blood glucose management is a concern, consider discussing monitoring strategies or potential lifestyle interventions specifically tailored to you.
