Introduction:

Hi, I am Purnendra Awasthi from Noida, 52 years of age and working in a semi-government organization in Noida itself. I have a family history of Diabetes. I am taking precautions to prevent diabetes since my childhood. Even I avoid sugary beverages and all sweet items and practice regular exercise.

I realized that consumption was increasing my blood pressure. It was not allowing me to lose weight. All these content were very high-fat food items. I could not manage my sugar levels and this led to me being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

You must remember a good diabetes care team is necessary. I was aware that diabetes could also cause heart diseases and I was not ready to lose to life.

I then told my self it was time to reverse type 2 diabetes. I was ready for every primary care that I could get. Manage my blood glucose level well. So, this is my own success story.

My Diagnosis:

Unfortunately, my lifestyle didn’t help completely and I was not able to prevent myself from diabetes. Maybe just because of my sedentary lifestyle. On my regular health checkup, my blood sugar level was high and it was a big shock to me. My doctor suggested me for HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c), which was also high, around 11%.

My doctor prescribed a proper medication to control my blood sugar level. Along with that, he suggested me to follow a proper diet plan with 30 minutes of a brisk walk in the morning as well as in the evening. He also suggested to monitor my blood sugar level regularly and make a chart. I started following whatever my doctor suggested to me in terms of diet as well as physical exercises.

My Turning Point:

It really worked for me. I started examining my blood sugar level and surprisingly it got reduced day by day and consulted regularly to my doctor. After a month, my doctor reduced the dose of the medicine and still my blood sugar level was in control. After 3 months, he suggested me to stop the medicines completely and to follow the diet plan and exercise as before.

After all the struggle I faced in these three months, I have had a check-up of my HbA1c again which was 7.5, which is completely normal. Now I am following the same plan and I got rid of diabetes.
