In the first week of January, I had severe abdominal pain, so I was admitted to the hospital. While I was admitted, my blood tests were conducted. Through those tests, I found out that I had diabetes. My HbA1c came out to be 11.2%. Since I was only 32 years old, this news came as a big shock. The hospital doctors immediately started me on diabetes medication.
My in-laws knew Dr. Jagannath Dixit personally, and they followed his lifestyle. They advised me to meet Dr. Dixit. Accordingly, I went to the DRC Center on Jangli Maharaj Road in Pune and met Dr. Dixit. I showed him the medications I was taking. He changed them and prescribed slightly milder medicines for just one month, and asked me to understand the lifestyle properly and follow it strictly.
Mr. Vishwas Joshi explained the lifestyle to me in detail. I decided to follow it. However, initially, it was very difficult for me. I struggled a lot, as I used to eat breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, and tea with samosas or vada pav in the evening. Now, eating only two meals a day felt very difficult. But since Sir had permitted buttermilk made at home, I started with only two meals a day.
Within two months, my HbA1c decreased, and my weight also dropped by one kilogram. On 8th March 2024, my HbA1c was 7.8%. This boosted my enthusiasm. My medication was stopped by Sir. Initially, I used to feel lethargic while working, but now, that lethargy has been replaced with energy and excitement. My wife greatly supported me in maintaining the meal timings and preparing food according to the diet. Her encouragement helped me stick to the lifestyle.
Due to this lifestyle, my stomach issues reduced. My digestion improved. I ensure that I walk daily without fail. Because my laziness has decreased, I now sleep early and wake up early. Earlier, I used to sleep very late. All of this has been possible only because of Dr. Jagannath Dixit lifestyle. I will follow this lifestyle for the rest of my life and try to stay free from diabetes. I am extremely grateful to Sir and his entire team.
