Mr. Nishant Joshi
31 y.o, Type 1 diabetic
Ph.D. student studying biotechnology
Reduced his glucose from 200mg/dL to 120mg/dL
Miss Rukhsar, one of the BeatO educators, introduced Mr. Joshi to “The plate method” where one divides the food on their plate to measure the portion sizes of different foods. It’s helpful for people with diabetes in managing their carbohydrate intake. Nishant shared a photo of his plate with Ruksar before his meals & she would tell him what to change to keep his sugar on track.
“Whatever we eat, our body turns it into carbohydrates, then breaks it down into glucose and slowly releases it into our blood. But if we directly eat glucose it stays in the blood for longer. Our main objective is to reduce the duration for which glucose stays in the blood. So Ruksar told me the more whole-grain and raw food I eat, the better it will be for my body. And in just one month of following the plate method, my readings went from red to yellow to green!”
