My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes after a urinary infection post-marriage. Both my parents had diabetes, so I was aware of the risk.

Over the years, my management included tablets, Ayurvedic supplements, and eventually insulin morning and evening, sometimes only morning doses.

Living as a traffic inspector meant long hours, irregular sleep, and physically demanding work, which complicated diabetes management.

I also faced renal issues, back pain, and weakness due to long-term medication use and insulin dependence.

How Was FFD Introduced & Why I Chose It

I joined Freedom From Diabetes after hearing about the program and seeing that a structured approach of diet, exercise, and guidance could help even someone with decades-long diabetes.

The focus on diet control, exercise, and personalized guidance appealed to me, as I wanted to reduce dependence on insulin and manage my health sustainably.

My Reversal Story

Upon joining FFD, my insulin was completely stopped within just 10 days, and the dosage and strength of my diabetes medications were gradually reduced.

Over this period, my HbA1c improved from 7.6 to between 6.4 and 6.7, while my weight dropped from 72 kg to 59 kg, with noticeable loss of both muscle and fat. 

My renal health also improved, with creatinine levels decreasing from 1.2 to 0.9.

Alongside these measurable improvements, symptoms such as back pain and discomfort in personal life eased significantly.

Although I initially faced challenges with very low food intake, hunger, and fatigue, the consistent guidance from FFD helped me stabilize my health.

The program’s structured phases ensured safe and monitored progress, allowing me to continue my demanding work schedule without compromising my recovery.

Athletic Identity

I don’t follow a traditional athletic routine, but my work itself is physically demanding.

The program incorporated exercises and movement that aligned with my lifestyle, helping me maintain strength, flexibility, and energy despite muscle loss concerns.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel lighter, healthier, and more energetic. My insulin is completely stopped, medications are minimized, and my kidney health and HbA1c are under control.

While I experienced muscle loss due to very low food intake initially, the FFD team continues to guide me on nutrition and gradual strength recovery.

Overall, I am more confident, pain-free, and energized, and can enjoy both professional and personal life fully.
