Hi everyone,

I’m a Software Engineer with ~3 years of experience in Java, Spring Boot, and backend development, currently working on telecom invoice processing and distributed systems. My experience includes REST APIs, microservices, Kafka, SQL optimization, and production support.

My current compansation is lesser than market value

I am looking for 8-9 LPA CTC

I’m actively looking for Backend/Java Developer opportunities (preferably backend-focused roles). If your company is hiring and you’re open to providing a referral, I’d really appreciate connecting.

Tech Stack: Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Oracle, Microservices, JPA/Hibernate, Docker

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: ~3 Years

Happy to share my resume via DM. Thanks!

I’m 25M from southern part of India and recently got my HbA1c checked again. My trend looks like this:

May 2025: 6.3

Sep 2025: 5.4

May 2026: 7.0

So I basically went from prediabetic → normal → diabetic range.

The strange part is that during Sep 2025, I was eating much cleaner and mostly following a millet-based diet with controlled meals. I was also more active consistently.

Over the last several months, my routine slipped:

No workouts

more processed food

worse sleep

probably overeating at times

Now I’m trying to aggressively fix this before it becomes permanent.

Current questions:

Is flavored whey protein okay for HbA1c/glucose control if low sugar?

Better with water or milk?

Do whole eggs spike glucose significantly?

Are egg whites better?

Did anyone here reduce HbA1c mainly through diet + lifting + walking?

I already plan to:

restart resistance training ( Started it's been a month)

increase steps

cut junk/sugary foods

return to structured eating

Would appreciate advice from people who successfully brought HbA1c down naturally, especially younger people.
