I highly recommend Dt. Priyanka and team. The diet plan they gave has done wonders for me and I witnessed results within 1 month. Post Covid I was diagnosed with diabetes and I tried all sorts of ayurvedic and allopathy treatments, however nothing worked for me. My fasting glucose had crossed 300 mg/dl which was alarming. I strictly followed the diet they provided me and gradually my sugar level started dropping. I am so happy to share that within a month's time my fasting sugar is in normal ranges. Even the random sugar last night I obtained was 139mg/dl. All the dieticians are very cooperative, kind and understanding. They also change and suggest diet plans as per your schedule for the day. Massive thanks to the team for educating and guiding.
