Vandana was determined not to jump to insulin and first explore alternative methods through strict lifestyle modification. Her doctor then suggested she join Fitterfly\u2019s\u00a0Diabetes Care Program, which gave her a ray of hope.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fitterfly Coach\u2019s Observations on Vandana\u2019s Condition<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Vandana\u2019s coach at Fitterfly noted that she had moderate level<b>\u00a0diabetes distress\u00a0<\/b>and her HbA1c was\u00a0<b>very high at 12.6%<\/b>\u00a0indicating alarming blood sugar levels and poor\u00a0diabetes management.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining the program she used to indulge in\u00a0<b>emotional stress eating\u00a0<\/b>sometimes as a coping mechanism to handle stress or boredom and had a huge craving for sweets and street food. She also had\u00a0<b>disturbed sleep<\/b>, as a result of which she experienced restlessness during the daytime.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Fitterfly Diabetes Care Program Interventions That Helped Vandana Manage Diabetes in a Better Way<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Vandana\u2019s coaches at Fitterfly made a step-by-step progression plan to control \u00a0 her diabetes which included:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Diet Interventions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vandana was a habitual emotional stress eater.\u00a0 This posed a huge challenge in maintaining a balanced diet.

Alongside yoga, she started feeling lighter and more energetic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Overcoming Sleep Disturbances<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vandana\u2019s disturbed sleep was effectively managed through sleep hygiene techniques like setting a healthy bedtime routine, avoiding screen time before sleep, and forward and backward counting. All this contributed to significantly improving her sleep quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compliant and Comfortable During the Program:<\/strong>\u00a0Looking at Vandana\u2019s ability and excellent adherence to the coach\u2019s suggestions, she was gradually introduced to weight training, mobility workouts, and a step goal of 10,000 steps\/day. Needless to say, she aced these goals too!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Managing Diabetes Distress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vandana\u2019s concerns about her diabetes were addressed through detailed psychoeducation, encouragement, and motivation.
