From Family Caregiver to Marathon Runner: Gurjeet Kaur’s Journey to Diabetes Remission

Gurjeet Kaur, a dedicated mother and caregiver for her large family, faced her own health struggles with diabetes and thyroid issues at 56. Weighing 185 pounds with an HbA1c level of 6.9%, her health concerns began to limit her ability to care for her loved ones. With Heald's personalized approach, Gurjeet embarked on a transformative journey. Our nutritionist worked closely with Gurjeet, integrating meal plans that catered to both her health needs and family preferences, ensuring she could cook a single, wholesome meal for everyone. Embracing gradual lifestyle adjustments, she incorporated daily walks, which evolved into running, under the guidance of her dedicated fitness instructor. This led to her remarkable achievement of completing several 10K marathons alongside her son and daughter-in-law. Gurjeet's weight dropped to 156 pounds, and her HbA1c level improved to 5.8%, signifying her triumphant battle against diabetes. Now, she's not just managing her health but thriving, as she prepares for a half marathon in 2024. Gurjeet's story is a testament to how Heald's supportive, personalized care can empower individuals to reclaim their health and achieve their dreams.
