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!!!
