My name is, Parvathy. { Latha } Kannan from Mumbai. 62 years old. Suffering from Diabetes T2. For past 11 years plus. Insulin with daily dosage of 30ml apart from heavy dosages of medicines were part of my treatment in Mumbai, Chennai Canada & USA. Heard of Practo Diabetes Remission from relations and friends which is purely online based treatment. After inquiry of its credentials, decided to accept the treatment on experimental basis. Cost wasn't that out of reach for any middle class Indians. Initial interaction thru Google meet itself gave enough confidence. After the on boarding essential tests done by them treatment began. Dr HEMA heading the treatment were on daily contact. Literally speaking 6.30am to 10pm. Minutely managing food, medicine, insulin intakes. As assured by Dr Hema & Dr Girija Insulin intake was stopped after 21 days of the start of treatment. Very reassuring. Hb1ac was tested in 2 months. Reduced from 9.6 % at start to 7.5% after 60days. Weight too came down from 67kgs to 60 kgs. Medicines were pruned down by 80%. Feel good factor could be felt. Now it's 3 months from start of treatment. Blood sugar checks at home is very much under control. I am told by the end of 6 months from start of programme I will get to see even the little medicines May not be required. Balanced Diet & Regular Exercise along with these expert panel of Doctors & Diatesions & yoga & exercise teachers have made the game change.I would blindly recommend this team of Doctors from Practo Remission.

I apologize for the long review, but I had to share the amazing experience my mother and I have had with Dr. Hema and her diabetes remission program.
My mother struggled to control her diabetes for many years, despite taking strong diabetic pills and insulin. Dr. Hema was able to control my mother’s diabetes in less than 4 weeks, without even using insulin.
During our first video consultation, Dr. Hema discussed her diabetes remission program and said that my mother would benefit from it. She assured us that my mother’s diabetes would be controlled in weeks.
Dr. Hema runs a unique and comprehensive program. The program focuses on diet and an overall change in lifestyle. I highly recommend anyone struggling with diabetes to consult Dr. Hema ASAP.
Dr. Hema is very passionate about working with patients, particularly with the elderly. She treats my mother like her own.
Her team includes a diabetologist, a well-qualified dietician, a yoga teacher, and a fitness instructor. Dr. Hema and her team stay in touch with my mother on WhatsApp and guide her on a daily basis so my mother can live a healthy life.
If you are looking for a doctor who would truly care for someone you care about, please look no further. Dr. Hema will take care of them. She took care of my mother’s long-term diabetes in weeks!
Dr. Hema is the best in the entire universe.
Thank you Dr. Hema for taking care of my mother! I truly appreciate the personal care you are giving my mother. You’re the best!!!

I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Hema for her exemplary care and dedication during my father diabetes treatment. From the very first consultation, she exhibited exceptional expertise, patience, and compassion that truly set her apart. Dr. Hema ensured that every step of the treatment plan was explained in detail, addressing all our concerns with utmost clarity and leaving no room for doubt. Her ability to make us feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process was remarkable. What stood out was her unique blend of professionalism and a deeply caring approach. She consistently checks in on her patients, going beyond routine care to ensure they feel supported and valued. Her thoughtful and attentive demeanor transformed what was a challenging time for our family into one that felt manageable and hopeful. It's rare to find a doctor who embodies such unwavering commitment and empathy toward her patient well being. Dr Hema passion and skill are truly inspiring. We are incredibly fortunate to have someone like her, and I firmly believe the world needs more medical professionals who combine expertise with genuine compassion. If you are seeking exceptional care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hema is a true gem in her field. Many thanks always for her continuous support and guidance

Dr. Hema is a rare gem, both as a doctor and as a person. When my mother, a diabetes patient, was struggling with scary low sugar episodes, met her for the first time and since then her situation transformed from uncertainty to satisfaction.
She is highly skilled and thorough; I once observed her adjusting dosages multiple times during our conversation as new information emerged, almost as if she were continuously calculating and calibrating her views.
But, beyond her impressive array of advanced degrees, it's her personal touch that truly sets her apart. She didn't just offer medical advice; she invested time. And oh, her patience! She spent nearly an hour addressing every concern with care and attention.
She advocates a holistic approach towards treating patients by trying to understand their situations beyond just medications and making effective yet simple modifications to their lifestyles, but in line with their preferences. She truly is about "well-being" and not just a prescriber of medicines.
She truly cares about her patients; inquiring about her well-being post visit too. She is true to her profession and doesn't prescribe any un-necessary tests, pills, etc.
These are all very **rare** qualities. I can only wish more doctors were like her, though even then, she would still stand apart!
What can I say, we consider ourselves lucky we found her. We're delighted to continue this journey of health and wellness under their expert guidance!

Dr.Hema is very experienced, endocrinologist, consulted for my dad , as he has frequent hypoglycemic issues... She addressed the issue well, so patient in listening and explaing all queries ... While most doctors believe in medicines especially diabetes.. she stresses on lifestyle changes , exercises, she makes sure each patient understands the value of nutrition in diabetes , and ensures each patient to follow the nutrition, she also asks patient to share their daily meal pics to her on whatsapp ... And follows daily ... In between the appointments too ... she offers the best treatment in modifying the diabetic medications , especially decreasing the dosage of insulin and slowly taking of the insulin and converting to oral tablets in longstanding diabetes patients and if a patient is new ... She motivates the patient in such a way .. that newly diagnosed patients go in to disease remission ... with out any type of tablets or medications as long as patients strictly follow her lifestyle , exercise and nutrition advise... Diabetes remission is a game changer for diabetics... i recommend all pateints be it , with diabetes , thyroid or any endocrinology issues , please consult Dr.Hema , u r life is about to see a best change in u r health , that u can't even imagine ... Thankyou mam for showing us the way of life
Everyone says ,Dr are the other face of God but no one has seen God .But for me ,I have seen Him in the face of Dr.Hema Venkataraman.
My mother has started this session in first week of April & having sugar about 380 with a very high dose of anti diabetic medicine as she was diagnosed with Type-2. Everyone said to start insulin and even my mother was mentally prepared for it .But suddenly Dr.Hema joined the group ,post 10 days and with a lot of discussion and trying different diet and drugs , in just 2 .5 months my mother sugar level came to normal & that to without insulin.It was a miracle for us . The very first accomplishment for us was in Apr , when was my mother felt hungry by around 1 PM and desired to have lunch which she never had before 3 PM.
Dr.Hema and team never ever made us realised that we are talking to a Dr. Their humility,kindness,down to earth approach and great gestures made us felt that we are family as such ,were always approachable.
Their dedication towards patient round the clock 24/7 has helped my mother to get recovered in just 2.5 months .I have no words to express my emotions for Dr.Hema and team for bringing this transformation in my mother’s life .
My mother is my world and you have given my world back .Thank you so so much!!
Thanks a ton to Dr.Hema,Dr Anita ,Chaitra,Nishchit and team .
