· The ‘Dixit Lifestyle’ approach shows significant improvement in HbA1c levels, aiding Type 2 diabetes control.
· Over 2,000 patients benefited; program integrates non-pharma lifestyle changes with measurable health outcomes.
The Infosys Foundation has declared the extension of its grant for the Chellaram Diabetes Institute (CDI), Pune, in continuation of its support towards research in diabetes and healthcare in India. The new collaboration will continue funding the institute’s pioneering efforts in the management of Type 2 diabetes by non-pharmacological methods, with specific emphasis on the ‘Dixit Lifestyle’.
Dedicated to Dr. Jagannath Dixit, the ‘Dixit Lifestyle’ advocates a two-meal-per-day regimen supplemented by exercise, designed to enhance insulin sensitivity and reverse Type 2 diabetes. The method has been very popular for its ease of implementation and performance, particularly in resource-poor environments.
CDI’s recent findings show that adherence to the Dixit Lifestyle has led to a measurable reduction in HbA1c levels a critical marker for long-term blood sugar control in a significant portion of patients enrolled in the program. The initiative combines structured diet planning, lifestyle coaching, and continuous monitoring under the guidance of healthcare professionals.

The Infosys Foundation’s sustained support will help extend CDI to scale the initiative on a larger scale, benefiting more patients all over India and aiding in massive data generation on lifestyle-reversal approaches for diabetes. The association also plans to strengthen digital platforms that provide remote monitoring and consultation, making it accessible beyond urban areas.
“Given that diabetes is now one of the biggest public health issues facing India, we are glad to fund community-based studies and practical interventions which could have a long-term impact,” said Sudha Murty, ex-Chairperson of Infosys Foundation.
The additional funding will also help to fund additional clinical trials, education for medical professionals, and public awareness campaigns based on the lifestyle-first model of managing diabetes. As India fights against the surge in non-communicable illnesses, projects like these represent a promising, cost-effective model for health.
