Name - Mrs. Arpita Guha

Profession - Homemaker
Place - Navi Mumbai.Maharashtra.

Hello, I am Arpita Guha, 59 years young, from Navi Mumbai.

For more than a decade, diabetes was a part of my life. While I managed it with medicines, I never imagined that one day I would be able to stop them completely. What finally pushed me to take action was not my blood sugar reports, it was the fear of losing my mobility.

When severe nerve-related pain left me struggling to walk and almost bedridden, I realized I could no longer postpone taking care of my health. Joining Freedom From Diabetes became one of the most important decisions of my life.

Today, I am medicine-free, nearly 10 kg lighter, and living with a completely different outlook on health and life.

My Diabetes Story

My diabetes was diagnosed nearly 11 years ago after I developed a urinary tract infection.

During a visit to my gynecologist, she advised me to get my blood sugar checked, and that is when diabetes was detected.

There was a family history as well. My father had diabetes, so perhaps the risk was always there.

For many years, I managed diabetes with medication. I did not experience major symptoms initially, which made it easy to continue postponing lifestyle changes.

Everything changed in 2025.

I developed a severe neurological issue involving my hip and leg.

The pain became unbearable. I experienced intense cramping and could barely walk.

At one point, I was almost bedridden and unable to put weight on my right leg.

While reading about possible causes, I repeatedly came across one alarming connection: long-term diabetes can contribute to nerve-related complications.

That frightened me. As someone approaching 60, I knew I could not afford to ignore my health any longer.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I had been watching Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s videos on social media for almost two years before joining.

Every now and then I would think, “I should join someday.” But someday it never came.

When my mobility started deteriorating and the pain became difficult to manage, I finally stopped procrastinating and enrolled for the Discover Reversal Session.

I joined Freedom From Diabetes in June 2025 with one simple thought: Even if I cannot exercise because of my condition, I will follow everything else that I can.

At that point, I was taking multiple diabetes medications every day.

Though I thought I was taking only two tablets, the doctors at FFD explained that the combination medicines effectively meant I was consuming multiple diabetes drugs daily.

I knew something had to change.

My Reversal Story

The most surprising part of my journey was that my transformation started even when I was physically unable to exercise.

I focused completely on the nutrition protocols taught at FFD.

The results were remarkable.

Within just three months, by September 2025, all my diabetes medicines were stopped.

For someone who had lived with diabetes for over a decade, that felt unbelievable. My HbA1c came down from 6.6 to 6.4.

At the same time, my body started responding positively. I lost 10 kg and reached my ideal weight within four to five months.

My weight reduced from around 72 kg to nearly 62 kg and has remained stable ever since.

What makes this achievement even more special is that it happened largely through nutrition because I simply wasn't capable of exercising during the initial phase.

Later, I also participated in Fast for Freedom twice.

Interestingly, the scale did not move much because I had already reached my ideal weight.

However, I lost an impressive 4–5 inches around my waist, which clearly showed that my body composition was improving.

The confidence boost from seeing these changes was enormous. I never imagined I could lose this much weight and maintain it successfully.

Athletic Identity

For most of my FFD journey, exercise had to take a backseat because of my leg condition.

Recovery was slow and took nearly 9–10 months. However, as my mobility improved, I gradually started rebuilding my strength.

Today, I have entered the first phase of structured exercise. My focus is on strengthening my leg muscles, improving back strength, and restoring mobility step by step.

What once seemed impossible now feels achievable. The fact that I can move comfortably again is itself a major victory.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

The biggest transformation has not just been physical. It has been mental.

Joining FFD showed me that health improvement does not have to be complicated.

If someone sincerely follows the guidance provided, the process becomes surprisingly simple and sustainable.

I attended almost all the group sessions and learned a tremendous amount about nutrition, health, and lifestyle management.

Today, I continue my journey through the Holistic Transformation Program because I want to build on the foundation I have created.

Looking back, I only wish I had joined sooner. The fear, uncertainty, and helplessness I felt when I was unable to walk have been replaced by confidence, hope, and a renewed sense of control over my health.
