Soon after, my blood sugar shot up to 350–360, and I was immediately started on anti-diabetic medication.

How Was FFD Introduced & Why I Chose It
I joined FFD when my HbA1c was 7.2, still dependent on medication.
What attracted me was the scientific, structured approach that focused on food, fitness, and habits, not just medicines.
