In February 2024, I realized that for the past six months my health was deteriorating, and I was losing weight. Relatives began commenting on how thin I had become, so I got my sugar test done. The results showed: Fasting blood sugar – 275, post-meal – 332, and HbA1c – 14%. Hearing this was a shock to me. I immediately visited our family doctor, who started me on diabetes tablets. I then dialled Dr. Jagannath Dixit’s number. The coordinators there guided me very well.
I informed my family doctor about this lifestyle. Initially, he was not ready to stop my medicines. Then Dr. Dixit’s coordinators explained to him to discontinue the tablets, and only then he agreed. After that, I strictly followed the lifestyle. In my daily meals, I started eating in this sequence: first peanuts, almonds, walnuts; then salad (cucumber, cabbage, tomato, capsicum, chilies); after that sprouted pulses (green gram, moth beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, or soybean nuggets); followed by dal, rice, vegetables, roti or bhakri (made from jowar or nachni); and finally, milk with a spoonful of ghee. I used to finish all this within 55 minutes.
Now I have brought my HbA1c down to 5.9%. By continuing this lifestyle, I wish to remain free from diabetes. Throughout this journey, Dr. Jagannath Dixit and his coordinators have helped me immensely. My family and I extend our heartfelt gratitude to them.
