Hello everyone,

I am Preeti Gupta, a homemaker from Lucknow. I had been living with diabetes for nearly 10 years, and although I was managing it with medicines, I always feared where this journey was heading.

Today, I feel far more aware, confident, and in control of my health than I did in the last decade.

My Diabetes Story

I discovered I had diabetes during regular health checkups after COVID.

Since my father had diabetes for years and my mother also struggled with it, I was already familiar with what diabetes can do over time.

Soon after diagnosis, I started facing several health issues.

The most troubling one was the frozen shoulder.

Along with that, I would feel unusually hungry, had fluctuations in energy, and slowly started becoming more anxious about my health.

I was prescribed a 1000 mg diabetes medicine, which became part of my daily routine.

But deep down, I knew I didn’t want lifelong dependency.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I came across Freedom From Diabetes through online videos.

What attracted me instantly was that this wasn’t asking me to completely disconnect from Indian food.

I saw that the program allowed structured eating with foods I genuinely enjoy dal, rice, roti, vegetables rather than extreme restrictions.

That made me feel this was practical and sustainable. Once I joined the Discover Reversal Session, I was genuinely impressed by the structured support.

The doctors, exercise experts, dieticians, and the overall guidance made the journey feel manageable.

My Reversal Story

When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was 7.1.

Within just 1 month, I was able to stop my diabetes medicine completely.

That itself felt like a huge milestone after living with diabetes for 10 years.

My HbA1c gradually came down to 5.8, and is currently 6.1.

One of my proudest achievements was clearing my GTT within 3 months.

Honestly, even I was surprised that after 10 years of diabetes, my body could respond so well when given the right system.

I also experienced several other improvements:

Creatinine normalized
Kidney markers improved
Liver markers improved
Cholesterol and triglycerides came under better control
More than numbers, what changed was my awareness.

Now I understand

What foods affect my sugar
How to correct my meals
How to get back on track quickly if sugars fluctuate
That knowledge itself feels empowering.

Weight Loss & Lifestyle Transformation:

When I joined FFD, my weight was around 65 kg.

Within 3 months, I came down to 58 kg without aggressive effort.

Later, due to a recent health issue involving back pain and doctor-advised bed rest, my weight went back up to around 65 kg again.

But this time, I’m not discouraged.

Because now I know exactly what works. I know how to return to routine. I know how to rebuild.

And most importantly I know I’ve already done it once.

Fast for Freedom Experience

I completed Fast for Freedom twice. It was a beautiful experience.

I enjoyed the process and was surprised by how energetic I felt.

During the fasting phase

Lost around 3 kg
Felt no weakness
Had full energy throughout the day
Experienced better clarity and discipline

It gave me a deeper sense of confidence in my body.

Inner Transformation & Mindset Changes

I also attended sessions with Udita Ma’am.

One of the biggest learnings from these sessions was the importance of journaling and routine tracking.

She encouraged me to:

Write things down
Set timings
Follow routines consciously

I implemented journaling for nearly 3 months and found it extremely useful. It helped me stay accountable and consistent.

This taught me something powerful

Health is not only about food it is about awareness and discipline.

My Athletic Identity

Before my recent back issue, I was actively doing:

Chair Surya Namaskar
Resistance band exercises
Yoga
Kapalbhati
Guided FFD workouts

Even during Fast for Freedom, I continued my exercise routine and felt energetic.

Currently, due to back pain, I’m temporarily resting and doing physiotherapy. But mentally, I am fully prepared to restart.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel much more aware of my body and my habits.

FFD taught me:

How to manage sugar independently
How to eat mindfully
How to maintain discipline
How to recover after setbacks

Even though I recently slipped due to health issues, I now know this is only temporary.

I am already preparing to return stronger. I truly feel that FFD is not just a diabetes program. It is a complete package.

Whenever anyone asks me how I improved, I recommend only one thing

Join FFD and understand the system.

What I appreciate most about FFD is its honesty and intention. FFD does not push or sell its own products to participants.

The focus is entirely on educating us, helping us understand food, lifestyle, and building sustainable habits rather than creating dependency on any supplements or products.

That gave me even more trust in the system.
