Dr. Bhagyesh told a story of the fish and an Aquarist highlighing the importance of environment in which you live. It goes like this: once a fish was found sick by the Aquarist in the fish tank. The Aquarist took it out of the tank, put it in a bowl with fresh water and took it to a fish doctor. The fish was treated and brought back and the Aquarist put it back into the fish tank. After a few days, the fish again became sick. Again, it was shifted to a bowl and taken to the doctor, treated and was brought back and put in the fish tank. After another few days, the fish again became sick. The Aquarist now started analyzing what was going wrong and he found that the dirty water in the fish tank was making the fish sick. So, it is the environment which is makes your sugar go up again, if you go back to it.
