My Diabetes Story

My diabetes journey started nearly 11 years ago.

Initially, I did not have a family history of diabetes neither my mother nor father had it.

But over time, I started noticing subtle symptoms. I used to feel constantly tired and low on energy.

There was fatigue, weakness, and a general sense that my body was not functioning the way it used to.

Even daily activities started feeling heavier. As my diabetes progressed, my sugar levels kept rising.

Despite treatment, things were not getting under control. Eventually, my doctor suggested insulin.

That moment was emotionally difficult for me because I felt like my condition was becoming more serious.

Along with diabetes, I also started experiencing body pain and overall health discomfort.

That’s when I realized I needed a different and more sustainable solution.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I first came across Freedom From Diabetes through online content.

Initially, I started following FFD & Dr Pramod Tripathi and learning about the program.

As my sugar levels continued rising and insulin doses kept increasing, I finally decided to take action and join Discover Reversal Session.

At that point, I was taking approximately 60 units of insulin daily.

That itself was enough motivation for me. I wanted to regain control before things became more difficult.

My Reversal & Transformation Story

When I joined FFD:

  • My HbA1c was 8.5
  • I was on 60 units of insulin daily
  • My energy levels were low
  • I often felt tired and drained
With the help of the program, structured dietary guidance, and regular follow-up, things slowly started improving.

Today:
  • My HbA1c has improved from 8.5 to 7.9
  • My insulin dependency has reduced significantly
  • My weight has reduced from 61.5 kg to 52.5 kg
  • I have lost a total of 9 kg
The most noticeable change for me has been how much better I feel physically.

Earlier, fatigue used to dominate my day.

Now, I feel lighter, more active, and far more energetic.

Food & Lifestyle Changes

Since the beginning of the program, I have been following the recommended dietary structure consistently.

Initially, it felt slightly difficult.

Like any lifestyle change, adapting to a new food system takes time. But gradually, my body adjusted.

Now, I feel comfortable following the routine.

In fact, I now understand how important food discipline is in diabetes management.

The program helped me realize that maintaining a healthy diet is not a temporary solution, it is a lifestyle.

Exercise & Athletic Identity

I stay active primarily through:
  • Walking
  • Daily movement
  • Surya Namaskars
I currently practice around 5–10 Surya Namaskars regularly.

While I may not have discovered a specific athletic identity yet, yoga and walking have become my preferred ways of staying active.

These activities feel sustainable and manageable for me.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel much more in control of my health than I did before.

The biggest changes I have noticed are:
  • Better energy
  • Reduced tiredness
  • Better sugar awareness
  • More confidence in managing diabetes
There was a brief phase where family responsibilities affected my routine, and my sugar levels fluctuated slightly.

But I resumed my routine and got back on track. That itself was a big learning.

Health is not about perfection.

It is about consistency and returning to the path whenever life disrupts you.
