26 year old Prashant Iyer took a consultation with SHARAN dietician Poonam Sharma for his mother Uma who was pre-diabetic. Not only did her health improve, so did his!
“I got in touch with Poonam back in July for my mother who was pre-diabetic at that time. She was proactive from the word go and she interacted freely with my mother every week and regularly followed up on her health. My mother is 62 years old, and given her age, I thought a major weight loss may not be possible. And diabetes is all about weight management. But Poonam was hands on, and not only did my mother’s weight come down from 72 kg to 65 kg, her HbA1c also reduced from 5.8 to 5.6, just below the pre-diabetic range!
I also benefitted from her diet – I lost 5 kgs as well, and my HbA1c, which was normal, came to a healthy range of 4.6. This diet change is for life! Now we are mindful of eating things, which have oil or ghee in it. We found new ways to cook without using ghee or oil, which didn’t seem possible when we started. Although, it took a bit of time, it was worth it. But as they say, good things come to those who persevere, and rightly so. One just has to be disciplined enough to follow. You won’t need to sacrifice the taste, as the diet is very customisable. You can ask for anything and everything and you wouldn’t be disappointed. Thank you, Poonam and SHARAN, for everything.” – Prashant Iyer
