The journey so far…

Although my lifestyle is hectic, I enjoy numerous sporting activities like cricket, tennis, swimming and golfing. I was overall active and enjoyed eating sweets at my will; until I was detected with Diabetes during my pre-employment health check-up at the age of 25. My blood sugar level was 175 mg/dL and my HbA1c was 7 per cent. Other than the elevated sugar and HbA1c levels, I did not display any outward symptom of Diabetes. As all my other health parameters were within the normal range, the diabetologist prescribed metformin.
