Meet Dr. Latif Poovatholil Hassan, a 71-year-old retired professor from Thiruvananthapuram. After living with diabetes for nearly three decades, dealing with insulin, neuropathy, hypertension, and mobility challenges, he believed reversal was beyond reach. But FFD proved that it’s never too late to heal.

Key Takeaways

Insulin stopped (30–35 units/day earlier) in 2 month
HbA1c reduced from 7.4 to 6.8 in 4 months
BP medicines completely stopped in 4 month
Weight loss from 85.5 kg to 68.8 kg in 11 months
Cholesterol ratio improved from 5 to 2.23
eGFR improved from 80 to 92

My Diabetes Story

My diabetes was diagnosed almost 29–30 years ago.

At that time, I had a stubborn skin issue that refused to heal, and that led doctors to check my sugars.

That’s when diabetes entered my life.

Initially, I managed it with tablets and didn’t face many problems. But with time, things began to change.

I developed peripheral neuropathy, started depending on insulin, and later struggled with hypertension as well.

Although my father had mild diabetes in his 80s, I never imagined I would face such long-term complications.

I did my best, took medication regularly, monitored my sugars, and adjusted my insulin doses every day.

But the condition kept tightening its grip on me, especially as mobility issues and spinal stiffness limited my ability to exercise.

Still, deep inside, I hoped there was a way to reduce the burden.

How FFD Was Introduced & What Made Me Choose It

Around two years ago, I happened to see a webinar by Dr. Pramod Tripathi. Something about the principles made complete sense to me.

I didn’t join expecting a complete cure. I simply hoped to reduce the intensity of the condition.

But the scientific approach, structured guidance, and philosophy behind FFD convinced me to give it a chance.

I now only wish I had discovered this program 10–15 years earlier.

Reversal Story

Joining FFD brought a turning point in my life. Despite my mobility challenges, I followed the diet and lifestyle instructions as much as possible.

The changes started showing up quickly.

My insulin requirement began dropping.
Within two months, I was completely free from insulin, after nearly three decades.
My HbA1c reduced to 6.8.
My BP normalized, allowing me to stop hypertension medication.
My cholesterol levels and ratio improved dramatically.
My kidney profile (eGFR), which was at 80, improved to 92.
And the most visible shift my weight dropped from 85.5 kg to 68.8 kg, a reduction of almost 17 kg.

I did not participate in the 9-Day Fasting Program, but the disciplined diet and structured fasting protocols within HTP helped bring steady improvements.

With reduced carb intake and better balance, the excess weight automatically came down and with it, many of my metabolic issues eased.

Athletic Identity

My physical limitations prevent me from doing heavy exercise. But I make sure to stay active within my capacity.

I practice mild yoga and simple movements at home regularly. I’ve also been doing meditation and basic breathing practices for years, which help me stay calm and centered.

My focus is simple: do whatever is possible, but do it consistently.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel lighter, healthier, and far more in control of my body than I have in years.

I follow a disciplined diet, keep my carbohydrate intake low, stay active through yoga, and monitor my health regularly.

The structured approach of FFD gave me clarity and confidence, something no medication ever offered.

I truly believe that if I had found FFD earlier, I could have prevented many complications.

But even now, at 71, achieving this reversal feels like reclaiming my life.
