At 53 years of age, Sandeep Mehta resides in the bustling city of New Delhi and manages a construction business. His busy schedule keeps him on his toes and he frequently visits various construction sites. In 2015, he started feeling a little uneasy and a routine health checkup revealed that he had developed Type 2 Diabetes.
The daily pressures of running a business in a dynamic city like New Delhi had contributed to the onset of his diabetes.With a determined mindset, he embarked on a journey to prioritise his health, realising that a balanced lifestyle was crucial in managing his condition effectively.
“Mera routine pehle kafi kharab tha. Kayi baar main apna lunch aur dinner skip kar deta tha. So when I got diagnosed, it did not come as a surprise to me”
Due to diabetes, he had become physically quite weak. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, he decided to implement essential changes to his daily routine. Following a consultation with his local doctor, he was prescribed metformin. Despite making these adjustments, there were no noticeable improvements , prompting him to explore alternative treatments.
He got to know about BeatO through a Facebook Ad and decided to join the BeatO Diabetes Care Program in March 2023.
Now he walks at least 5000 steps everyday and has also become regular with his medicine routine. “Meri health coach ne mujhe diabetes ke baare me kafi detail me samjhaya aur woh merese regularly follow up bhi leti hai. She also shared a very simple diet plan with me. I follow it very sincerely and don’t skip a single meal now.”
Elaborating on his experience with the program, he says, “Bahar se medicines lena mujhe kafu mehenga padta tha. Iski wajah se bahut baar mera dose bhi skip ho jata tha. Ab meri medicines mere plan me hi included hai. For me, it has now become very easy to manage diabetes.”
Not only his sugar levels, but also his cholesterol levels have been successfully managed, and the tingling sensation in his legs has stopped. Through the program’s constant reminders, customised plans, and continuous monitoring, he witnessed a noticeable positive shift in his overall health.
| Parameter | Before | After |
| HbA1c | 13% | 7.8% |
| Fasting Reading | 307 mg/dL | 92 mg/dL |
| Post-Meal Reading | 286 mg/dL | 122 mg/dL |
The standout feature for him has been the invaluable support from health coaches available through the BeatO App. Their consistent support along with the valuable insights gained from regular doctor consultations have played a pivotal role in guiding him towards better sugar management.
“Mere stress levels kafi kam huye hai jiski wajah se ab mujhe gussa bhi kam aata hai. Yeh sab BeatO ki wajah se hi possible ho paya hai. Before I joined BeatO, I was not regular with my sugar monitoring. Ab main asani se apni sugar check kar leta hu. I have recommended BeatO to a lot of my friends and family members.
