The curious case of pre-diabetes reversal
What do you do when God did not grant you a proper functioning thyroid gland?
Be careful with your lifestyle, one would say.
Yashas realised that the hard way. He was preparing for one of the toughest medical exams in the country and had completely ignored his health. His blood work mid way to his exam preparations made that abundantly clear.
His busy - and hence unhealthy - lifestyle shot up his insulin resistance. With Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) score of 6.5, he was labelled as a pre-diabetic at a young age!
As usual, the doctor gave him a choice between change of lifestyle or lifelong medication, leaning more towards the latter. That is when Yashas met one of the coaches with Wellness Quotient.
He realised that lifestyle change was a better option in the longer run. It was now or never for Yashas. The lockdown gave him that opportunity.
Under his wellness coach’s guidance, Yashas adopted a healthy diet and a regular exercise regime - something he had never done for the last three years! His HbA1c improved to 5.0 and he was officially out of the pre-diabetic category! Yay!
Yashas says, "I sincerely thank my mother and Wellness Quotient for guiding me on how a healthy lifestyle can go a long way in creating a healthy future."
