My Diabetes Story

Despite leading an active lifestyle, with my daily step count averaging around 11,000 thanks to the nature of my work, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with diabetes during my annual health check-up in December 2023. My HbA1c came out to be 8.0.

I had no symptoms—No fatigue, Excessive thirst, or noticeable weight changes. It was purely a routine screening that caught the condition. I remembered that a year earlier, My HbA1c had been 6.1, in the pre-diabetic range, but like many people, I hadn’t taken it seriously at the time.

How was FFD introduced and why did I choose it?

Thankfully, L&T's collaboration with Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) came at the right time for me. In January, I enrolled in a short one-month program. Soon after, an internal company email about FFD prompted me to take the next big step. The structured support and guidance I received helped me understand that diabetes isn't a disease but a reversible condition, empowering me to commit to my transformation.

Reversal Story

The FFD team performed a detailed study of my case and designed a tailor-made plan.At just 42, I knew it was too early to surrender to a chronic condition. So, I made disciplined lifestyle changes recommended by FFD —and within months, my HbA1c dropped from 8.0 to 5.8. I even cleared my GTT, a major milestone in my reversal journey.

I also lost weight, going from 74 kg to 68 kg in the first phase. Now, under FFD guidance, I’m working on building lean muscle. Though I couldn’t attend live Inner transformation sessions due to a packed schedule, I followed recorded ones regularly and practiced meditation and breathing. Sunday "Happiness Program" follow-ups keep me inspired and grounded.

I’ve also found my athletic identity—I used to run one marathon a year, but now I do four! My lifestyle has completely transformed: from late-night dinners and poor habits to a balanced diet, Regular workouts, and Emotional wellness.
