Diabetic no more

Not many people reverse diabetes after 20 years being a diabetic, but I did through the encouragement and care of Dr Balakrishna. Yep, that’s right, I have had no diabetes for over 12 years now. No pills, no insulin shots, completely diabetes free. First, she encouraged me to get into a nutrition class. Following the class, she met with me several times and explained additional food management techniques. She encouraged exercise and 110 pounds later I left diabetes in its tracks. A key point she suggested was to measure and record food/drink intake every meal. To this day, I still record every meal and drink. As the years went on, we would talk about additional techniques in food and nutrition management and different ways to exercise your body and mind. She even suggests where to shop to find the best quality and prices for healthy food. Most people see their doctor for medical needs, but Dr B over the years has been more than just a medical doc, she has been a friend, cheerleader, coach, counselor, and just a super person. Get off the couch, learn how to eat, learn the values of foods and how those work for you and your body, exercise and become a different person. After over 20 years of diabetes, I did just that with Dr B help. You can too. Find your Dr B.
