Detailed Case Study
Mr Ramiz Raja Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes
Mr. Ramiz Raja, an active person, was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This diagnosis significantly impacted his overall well-being, including his mental health. ‘Learning I had diabetes was a shock. It affected every part of my life, especially my mental health,’ he recalls.
The stress of managing a chronic condition took its toll, but Mr. Raja’s determination to improve his health guided his journey.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Comorbidities
In addition to diabetes, Mr Raja faced several other serious health challenges. He had Hashimoto’s disease, high cholesterol, and thyroid issues at the time of his diagnosis. His triglycerides were alarmingly high at 3302 mg/dL, his total cholesterol was 478 mg/dL, HDL was 20 mg/dL, and LDL was 33 mg/dL.
‘Seeing those numbers was frightening. I knew I had to take immediate action’, he shares.
These comorbidities further complicated his health management, requiring a comprehensive and coordinated approach.

How My Health Coach Helped Me
Mr Raja’s health coach, Divya CP, played a crucial role in his health improvement. Divya worked closely with him to make sustainable changes to his diet and lifestyle. She designed a diet plan that managed his blood sugar levels while also addressing his high cholesterol and thyroid issues.
‘Divya introduced me to a balanced diet that was both diabetes-friendly and heart-healthy,’ he says.
The plan included whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Divya also encouraged Mr Raja to incorporate regular exercise into his routine. ‘Starting with simple exercises, I gradually built up my stamina,’ he shares.
She recommended a mix of cardio and strength training tailored to his fitness level. Additionally, she helped him adopt healthier habits, such as regular hydration, stress management techniques, and better sleep hygiene. ‘Divya’s guidance on lifestyle changes has been life-changing,’ he remarks. ‘The small, consistent changes made a huge difference.’
How My Doctors Helped Me

‘My endocrinologist’s expertise was key in balancing my thyroid and diabetes medications,’ he says.
A cardiologist managed his high cholesterol, prescribing medications and recommending dietary changes to lower his lipid levels. ‘The cardiologist’s guidance helped bring my cholesterol numbers down significantly,’ he notes.
Regular check-ups and tests were crucial in tracking his progress and adjusting treatments as needed. The multidisciplinary approach ensured that all aspects of his health were addressed, with each specialist providing coordinated care. ‘The collaboration between my doctors made all the difference in managing my multiple conditions,’ he remarks.
