Pune: Inspired by late Dr.Shrikant Jichkar, public health expert and researcher, Dr.Jagannath Dixit initiated “World free of obesity and diabetes” campaign in 2013. Dixit Lifestyle (R) of eating only two meals and walking 4.5km in a day became popular. Today it has reached 43 countries with millions of followers. Dr.Dixit and his colleagues founded a charitable trust namely, Association for Diabetes and Obesity REversal (ADORE) at Pune in 2018 to realise the dream of obesity and diabetes free world. ADORE runs 14 diabetes reversal counselling centres in India including one centre at Pune. These centres have helped more than 25 thousand diabetics.
In fight against diabetes, improving lifestyle should be the main advice, as it is a lifestyle disorder. Unfortunately patients go on taking medicines throughout their lives and in increased dosages and numbers of medicines.
Dr.Dixit’s campaign gives a hope to patients of obesity and diabetes that by following Dixit Lifestyle they can definitely revert these conditions. This is a revolution happening in treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this uneven battle, people are with the campaign supporting it wholeheartedly. The campaign is free of cost and not a single rupee is taken from any patient.
