Gaurav Sharma
37 years, Pharmacist
Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
Gaurav Sharma lives in Ranchi with his wife, parents and two children. He was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in December 2015.
“I started experiencing symptoms like excessive thirst and frequent urination. That is when I decided to get myself tested and I found out that I have Type 2 Diabetes. I used to eat pulao every day. Also, I used to remain very stressed all the time. These could have been the contributing factors to my diabetic condition.”
He consulted a diabetologist and he prescribed some medicines. He used to eat eight chapatis in a day and the doctor recommended that he should reduce his carb intake and exercise on a regular basis. This would help him in losing the excess weight. Over the course of years, he also tried some ayurvedic medicines. He was looking for a more effective way to tackle his diabetic condition when he got to know about BeatO.
“I got to know about BeatO through a friend and I purchased the Care Program in March 2022.
I was recommended to make certain changes to my diet and lifestyle by my health coach. My health coach Poojhita made sure that my diet matched my energy requirements. I never feel low on energy being on this diet. I also practice Yoga every day and avoid rigorous exercises.”
Mr. Gaurav Sharma has made exceptional improvements while being on the Care Program within just three months. He has lost 8 kgs of weight and his HbA1c has come down from 7.5% to 6.9%. His fasting reading has also come down from 200 mg/dL to 110 mg/dL.
“The role of the health coach is the most important part of this program. They give you time-to-time and daily guidance. They tell you what you need to restrict or add to your diet. I even share a picture of my plate with my health coach every day.
“Whenever I experience a fluctuation in my sugar level, I get a call from my health coach.”
