His other anxiety was a lack of physical activity in his busy routine.<\/p>\n<p>He was into a sales job, and the nature of his work involved a<strong>\u00a0lot of travelling and eating outside<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Naveen was diagnosed with diabetes 15 years ago.

Long meal gaps<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The nature of Naveen\u2019s job did not allow him to eat on time leading to long gaps in between the meals.His Coach counselled him to have\u00a0<strong>frequent, small meals<\/strong>\u00a0and gave him\u00a0<strong>healthy meal options<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They mutually decided a time for him to finish his meals.Eventually, the gaps in meals were reduced.\u00a0<strong>Time-in-range improved by 18%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Unhealthy Snacking with refined carbs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Navin preferred to have tea with rusk\/biscuits and binge eating of unhealthy refined carbs. Due to this, his daily calories and fat exceeded his recommended daily allowance (RDA).<\/p>\n<p>His Health coach recommended\u00a0<strong>healthy snack options<\/strong>\u00a0like roasted chana, makhana, multigrain khakhra etc. With these modifications, his\u00a0<strong>carb intake reduced by 21%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Intake of fruits with major meals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Naveen ate fruits with his main meals, like lunch and dinner. As a result, there was a spike in blood sugar after meals.<\/p>\n<p>His Fitterfly Coach advised him to <strong>eat fruits with nuts as a mid-morning snack<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>avoid fruits with main meals.<\/strong>\u00a0Naveen stopped eating fruits with main meals. His\u00a0<strong>time-above-range improved by 100%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Losing weight, cutting down on diabetes medicines and getting his blood sugar levels within the targeted range was a dream come true for Naveen.<\/p>\n<p>Controlling diabetes &amp; its complications- something which Naveen&#8217;s previous generations couldn&#8217;t achieve &#8211; was made possible with Fitterfly personalised coaching.<\/p>\n<p>If you or your loved one have diabetes, you too can<strong> achieve your health goals with Fitterfly<\/strong>.
