My Diabetes Story
Ironically, even though I’ve always been deeply connected to the healthcare field, I faced a health scare in 2014 that completely changed the direction of my life.
It all started with an unusual discomfort in my chest. Since I regularly interact with doctors, I didn’t delay consulting a physician. He ran an ECG and noticed some irregularities, so he referred me to a cardiologist.
The cardiologist, suspecting a possible blockage, admitted me for observation and suggested an angiography. Surprisingly, the results came out clear.
However, during this routine testing, I received an unexpected diagnosis—diabetes. It came as a shock because I had always considered myself fit. Until then, I hadn’t faced any major health problems—not even a fever in over ten years.
Though there was some family history—My mother developed diabetes late in life, around the age of 60—it wasn’t particularly strong. So, getting diagnosed at a much younger age felt premature and deeply concerning.
Determined not to rely on medication for life, I began exploring alternatives. Though I initially took both allopathic and Ayurvedic medicines, I was never fully convinced about being dependent on them forever.
I started experimenting with yoga, Followed various tips from social media, and slowly began making lifestyle changes. However, my sugar levels remained inconsistent—improving when I was on medication, only to spike again when I tried stopping it.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
My turning point came when I discovered Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) through social media. I came across a video featuring renowned cardiologist Dr. B.M. Hegde, where he praised Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s work in diabetes reversal.
That piqued my interest. Intrigued and inspired, I decided to join FFD’s annual program HTP with discipline.

Reversal Story
The FFD team performed a detailed study of my case and designed a tailor-made plan.
Since joining FFD, I’ve undergone a remarkable transformation. My weight dropped from 74 to 66 kg that’s over 8 kg lost. My HbA1c, Which had once peaked around 8, came down to 5.5, Well within the non-diabetic range. I am confident it may have improved even further, And I am awaiting my latest reports.
My medicine intake has drastically reduced — from multiple doses a day to just one tablet in the evening. I am optimistic that I will soon be completely medicine-free. Frequent business tours have limited my ability to maintain a consistent gym routine — Otherwise, I feel I might have already achieved full reversal.
Despite my demanding job and frequent travel, I’ve embraced my athletic identity. I’m passionate about gym workouts and enjoy cycling whenever I get the time. Though I couldn’t fully participate in the Inner Transformation sessions due to professional commitments, I stuck to the FFD diet protocol religiously. I even gave up tea and dairy for over 10 months, and the improvement in my energy levels and sugar control has been significant.
Thanks to all the experts for their invaluable contribution to my journey.
