Since the year 2010, I had to take medicines for diabetes — three tablets daily and an insulin injection before dinner. Initially, I was taking 8 units of insulin, but it gradually increased to 18. In May 2022, I had to undergo a hysterectomy. At the time of surgery, the fat on my abdomen was my biggest problem. My medicines were increasing continuously. I also had frequent ear infections.
Just before Diwali, I called Dr. Dixit. At first, I thought such a senior doctor would not bother about me, but to my surprise, he replied within just two minutes. He gave me Shruti madam’s number. Initially, I could not follow this diet plan at all because I had to eat breakfast in the morning. If I didn’t eat, my hands would tremble. So, my case was referred to Dr. Nandkumar Hadgekar, and it was as if I had met God himself.
He checked all my test reports and began guiding me. He explained what I should eat, how I should eat, and strictly instructed me not to eat sweets, along with scientific reasons. Now, I walk 4 km every morning. I eat my meals only twice a day — at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. In both meals, I first eat almonds, walnuts, salad, and sprouted pulses, followed by one chapati and vegetable curry.
Earlier, my HbA1c used to be 9.4%. Slowly, it started reducing. Now, I have completely stopped insulin, and even the afternoon tablet has been discontinued. Despite such a big reduction in medicines, my HbA1c is now 7.2%. My weight, which was earlier 85 kg, has now come down to 73 kg. The fat on my abdomen was the first to reduce. As my weight reduced, the pain in my hand also lessened. I feel lighter and fresher now. The ear problem has also improved.
Earlier, I had to spend ₹5000 every month on medicines, but now it has reduced to just ₹1000. I am confident that even these medicines will be reduced further. I sincerely thank Dr. Dixit sir and especially Dr. Hadgekar sir, who constantly guided me and brought me to this stage. I am determined to continue this lifestyle. I expect that within the next three months, I will become completely free of diabetes. I express my deep gratitude to Dr. Dixit sir.
