Every year 15% of people with prediabetes/ borderline diabetes progress to diabetes. This risk can be reduced or delayed with a healthy lifestyle - which acts as a precaution. Since Ashwin was recently diagnosed with prediabetes, his Doctor suggested he try changing his lifestyle before starting medications. To help him eat healthy, exercise regularly, improve his sleep and manage his stress, the Doctor recommended Diabefly Pro - a 3-month lifestyle management program for people with diabetes and prediabetes. To manage his blood sugars without medications, Ashwin enrolled in Diabefly Pro and this is how we helped him.

What makes Diabefly Pro unique in its approach is the 14-day CGM phase - where we correlated Ashwin’s diet & lifestyle with his blood sugar fluctuations. These were the results from his CGM journey.
Initially, Ashwin followed his regular lifestyle with no changes in his usual diet, exercise and sleep routine
Based on the insights from the CGM report, his Diabefly Coach suggested easy-to-follow diet and lifestyle modifications.
Ashwin incorporated the lifestyle modifications in his routine while still on the AGM device.
| Parameter | Days 1-7 (Before) | Days 8-14 (After) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Time In Range (TIR) Should aim to keep it above 70% | 83% | 86% | 4% increase |
| Time above target Should aim to keep it at 0% | 16% | 10% Closer to 0% now | 38% decrease |
| Daily average blood sugar levels
Should aim to keep it between 70 and 180 mg/dL for people with diabetes |
118 mg/dL | 105 mg/dL | 11% decrease |
Following the 14-day CGM phase, Ashwin got two and a half months of continuous support from his Diabefly Coach to make changes in his diet, physical activity levels, improving sleep and managing stress.
Understanding his current lifestyle and how it was affecting his blood sugars through the CGM reports helped his Coach make impactful changes in such a short amount of time. It gave him time to make changes, build habits and finally change his behaviour.
Certain behaviours in Ashwin’s lifestyle were affecting his blood sugar levels. This is what they were and how changing them improved his health.
| Parameter | Solution | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Post dinner sweet cravings which were causing post-meal hyperglycemia | Substituted chocolates or fruits with healthier options like dates with nuts. |
