To get his blood sugar levels in control, his doctor had prescribed him a combination of antidiabetic drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Aman&#8217;s doctor had diagnosed him with hypertension (high blood pressure) and anaemia, but he was not under any medication for the same.<\/p>\n<p>After confirming his diagnosis, Aman&#8217;s doctor advised him to join Diabefly for\u00a0<strong>personalised coaching under a certified Diabetes Educator &amp; Coach.\u00a0<\/strong>After knowing more about the Diabefly program from his doctor, Aman was more than excited to enrol on the program.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">\n    <div class=\"col-lg-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopadding calculator-cta\">\n        <div class=\"cal-card-list\">\n            <div class=\"cal-card blue\">\n                <div class=\"cal-card-info\">\n                    <h4>Diabetes Reversal<br> Calculator<\/h4>\n                    <p>To know your chances of&nbsp; Diabetes reversal, take the Diabetes Reversal Test<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"cal-btn\">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/hybrid-reversal-calculator-blog?utm_source=Reversal_Calculator_blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=Reversal_Calculator_Blog\" class=\"white-btn\">Check<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How did Diabefly help Aman?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Aman took 20 SMBG (self-monitoring of blood glucose) readings with a glucometer during the initial 7 days of the program.

like 45 minutes of yoga and 30-minute morning walks.<\/li>\n<li>She helped him figure out what to eat while going out with family and friends to prevent his blood sugar from rising above normal values.<\/li>\n<li>She gave him an option-based meal plan instead of a generic meal plan. This helped Aman to make healthier meal choices. Additionally, Misbah gave him easy-to-cook healthy recipes which he could cook by himself when he relocated to a new city.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>COVID-19 indirectly took a toll on Aman&#8217;s health. Disrupted work-life balance, poor dietary choices and increased stress levels caused uncontrolled diabetes.
