Association for Diabetes and Obesity REversal

Mission Vision

About the campaign

The campaign commenced in 2013 in a humble manner. Social media was used since 2015 in the form of whatsapp groups, facebook page and facebook group.

Progress till date

As of now more than 45000 people from around 36 countries are connected directly with this campaign through social media. Lectures of Dr.Dixit are viewed by lakhs of people. Thousands of people have lost weight. Hundreds of diabetics are benefitted. In some the doses of anti-diabetes medicines are decreased and in some totally stopped. Most importantly this campaign has provided a ray of hope to all obese and diabetics in the world. The feeling that they can maintain good health by their own efforts has instilled confidence in them. People who were unable to walk for 2 Km are now planning to run 10 Km or even 21 Km marathons! This positivity is growing in all circles of society wherever our members are there

Future plans

Diabetes Reversal Centres: One such centre will commence at Nagpur and other at Pune in September 2018. The purpose is to reduce medicines of patients with diabetics. To start with a batch of 100 patients will be followed for 6 months to one year till their diabetes is reversed. This activity will be scaled up in future.

Programmes for school children: School children from 8th to 10th standard shall be educated about healthy lifestyle to avoid obesity and diabetes. Teachers from ZillaParishad schools and private schools shall be trained as trainers. After their training they shall be entrusted with the responsibility of education children in their schools. This activity shall start in Nashik district and we aim to reach at least 2,00,000 children this year.
