Unbeatable Mr. Shirish Joshi,
60 y.o.
Type 2 diabetes
Living in Navi Mumbai
Voluntary retired
Reduced his HbA1c From 8% to 6.3% in three months
His HbA1c level was reduced from 8% to 6.3% in three months.
Mr. Shirish discovered he had diabetes roughly 15 years ago.
“Having diabetes and having diabetes-related problems are two different things. Only four months ago, I began experiencing serious complications as a result of my diabetes. My feet started having a burning sensation. I was experiencing diabetic neuropathy, a type of nerve damage that can arise due to diabetes. And once the nerves have been damaged, they cannot be repaired.”
“Ms. Payel explained to me how different foods are digested and how long it takes for them to release sugar into the bloodstream. I cut back on carbs and started checking my blood sugar three times a day with the BeatO CURV Glucometer. Whenever my blood sugar was high, I noted why it was high. I like how the BeatO App allows you to add notes to each of your readings, and these notes are then shared with your doctors when you send them your readings. This way, when they’re counseling me, they will already know what I did wrong.” he adds.

According to Mr. Shirish, “The best part about testing with BeatO’s Glucometer is that it doesn’t require much blood for testing, hence pricking becomes less painful.” Furthermore, testing with BeatO’s glucometer costs roughly around Rs.10 per testing, which goes as high as Rs.15 with other glucometers.
Mr. Shirish lives with his wife and has two daughters, both married. He finds it very convenient that all of his readings are in one place on the BeatO App. And he feels relieved because his wife, as well as BeatO, receives a warning when his sugar levels are alarmingly high or low.
“BeatO health coaches notify me when my readings are out of range. They contact me, and together we try to figure out what went wrong so I can be prepared well for next time. With a good lifestyle and good analysis using the BeatO App, I reduced my HbA1c from 8% to 6.3% in just three months. My foot pain has reduced, and my sugar falls in the pre-diabetic range now!”
Mr. Shirish is a happy person who enjoys music and plays the flute. He even takes flute lessons for the neighbourhood kids.
