Living with diabetes often means doing everything you’re told—
and still feeling unsure, tired, or quietly worried about what lies ahead.
Healing, Reimagined speaks to that in-between space.
Not the moment of diagnosis.
Not the crisis.
But the long stretch in between—where life goes on, medications increase, routines harden, and questions remain unspoken.
This book does not promise cures or quick fixes. Instead, it offers something many people with diabetes rarely receive: clarity without fear.
Through lived experience and careful reflection, it explores why diabetes is more than blood sugar numbers, why stabilisation is not the same as healing, and why feeling “compliant” can still leave you disconnected from your own health. It gently reframes diabetes as a journey over time—and shows how understanding that journey can restore a sense of agency, dignity, and calm.
Written for patients and families, this book respects medicine, honours discipline, and refuses exaggeration. It does not ask you to reject doctors, abandon treatment, or chase guarantees.
It invites you to understand your condition more deeply—
so you can participate in your care with confidence, not anxiety.
This is not a book about fighting diabetes.
It is about learning how to live fully alongside it—
with structure, perspective, and hope that is grounded, not fragile.

Srinivas Mahankali
Srinivas Mahankali is a technology leader, entrepreneur, and systems thinker with over two decades of experience working at the intersection of business strategy, digital transformation, and large-scale organisational change across India and global markets.
His professional work has involved building and advising technology-led organisations, collaborating closely with CXOs, boards, and institutions on questions of scale, sustainability, and long-term value creation. Across these roles, Srinivas has been consistently drawn to complex systems—where outcomes are shaped not by isolated actions, but by discipline, structure, and continuity over time.
That perspective became deeply personal when he began living with diabetes.
Years of sustained professional pressure, high stress, and irregular routines led to a gradual but serious decline in health. Despite being diligent and compliant with medical advice, Srinivas experienced severe diabetic complications, including neuropathy and autoimmune-related conditions, with HbA1c levels nearing critical thresholds. His journey through leading corporate hospitals, extensive diagnostics, and long-term medication regimens gave him first-hand insight into both the strengths and the limitations of episodic healthcare.
During this phase, he encountered the work of Dr. Rajendra Mane and the philosophy behind the Diabetes Mukta Bharat Abhiyan (DIMBHA). What resonated was not a promise of cure, but a disciplined, medically responsible approach that restored patient participation and continuity while respecting modern clinical practice. Through sustained engagement and supervision, Srinivas gradually stabilised his health and regained a sense of agency that had been missing from conventional care alone.
Healing, Reimagined emerges from this lived experience.
Srinivas does not write as a clinician, nor does he claim medical authority. He writes as an informed participant—seeking to document, responsibly and without exaggeration, the philosophy and systems thinking behind DIMBHA through a patient’s lens. His intent is to offer orientation rather than instruction
