Capt Raina has just finished 7 days. When he started, he was on 16 units of insulin in the morning and 12 in the evening. Since his blood sugars started falling by changing the diet, his insulin had to be reduced. In just a week he is on only 6 units in the morning and 4 in the evening! And he feels more energetic too.
“In just one week my insulin dose has dropped from a total of 28 units to just 10!”
