WE HAVE REACHIEVED CDC FULL PLUS 5 YEAR RECOGNITION  (2024-2029)

Program Feedback

Barry Levine4/28/2019

I've completed the first, weekly, phase of the pre-diabetes program and am now well into the monthly, second phase. The results were slow but steady, and I have now taken off about 7% of my original weight. I needed to break some bad habits and develop some new, good ones. This program targets those concerns, which are notably different for each individual. There is no one size fits all. Nor are there any pressures to lose weight, but rather steady encouragement and each participant's self-analysis of what they need to do to get there. Dr. Inuka's passion for this program and sincere compassion for the participants makes it not a chore but rather a joy to come to, as the results, pretty much exactly as predicted, make it so.
We've all seen all too many people these days developing T2 diabetes, with all its accompanying complications. Participants recognize that that could well be our future unless we do something about it. This program, under Dr. Inuka's professional and compassionate guidance, enables most any reasonably motivated person to achieve that sensible weight loss, that reduction in A1c, and a future free from worry of getting diabetes. It's not a magic bullet, or any trendy short term fix, but rather a well designed program that should be able to aid most anyone with this issue get themselves and their bodies back into the safe zone and keep it there.

Ariel B 11/13/2020  (Feedback from a student shadowing DR. INUKA MIDHA from EMORY UNIVERSITY as part of EMORY ALUMNI Mentorship program). Dr. Inuka Midha graduated from ROLLINS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, EMORY UNIVERSITY in 2006 with honors and taught several undergraduate PUBLIC HEALTH seminars in CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION among a diversity of refugee and immigrant populations.

I am a student at Emory University and had the opportunity to observe one of Dr. Inuka Midha's classes. I had a great time learning about the program and hearing from participants. One of my favorite aspects of the class was how interactive it was! By fostering a judgment-free and supportive atmosphere, Dr. Inuka paved the way for an open and honest conversation. Even on a virtual platform, everyone on the call was actively engaged and happy to participate. By attending even just one session, I could see how impactful and beneficial this course is. Committing oneself to Dr. Inuka's program is one of the best steps a prediabetic individual can take for their own wellbeing.

PREDIABTES FACTS

DID YOU KNOW? 

Although the natural development of Diabetes from Prediabetes is a gradual process. But SOMETIMES in the absence of TIMELY LIFESTYLE INTERVENTIONS, you may develop DIABETES (Type 2) in as little as 6 months to a year.  YOU can then no longer REVERSE your "Diabetes".  You have only 20 percent of working pancreas left at this stage.
