My Diabetes Story

Over time, my HbA1c kept creeping up, eventually reaching 8.4.

I also noticed subtle changes: lower energy levels, reduced enthusiasm, and an overall sense that my health was slipping.
With a family history of diabetes my father had it from an early age I knew I needed to act before things worsened.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
My wife first came across Freedom From Diabetes when my brother-in-law shared a video of Dr. Pramod Tripathi explaining lifestyle-based diabetes reversal.
We attended the DRS session, and what stood out immediately was the clarity and practicality of the approach.
It didn’t feel like a temporary fix, it felt like a lifestyle we could follow for life and even pass on to our children.

That belief that diabetes could be handled and even reversed with the right understanding and discipline made us join the program together.
Reversal Story
When I joined FFD, my HbA1c was 8.4. I was not on diabetes medicines at that time, as I had stopped them earlier.
By following the structured food protocols, exercise guidance, and lifestyle discipline taught in FFD, my HbA1c came down to 6.3 after completing the program.
Beyond numbers, the biggest change was how I felt more energetic, more enthusiastic about work and life, and far more confident about my health.
Athletic Identity
Through FFD, I rediscovered my athletic side.
Cycling became a regular activity for me, and I was able to comfortably cycle around 10 miles (approximately 16 km).
Along with that, I strengthened my yoga practice and achieved 108 Surya Namaskars.

Exercise no longer felt like a burden, it became part of my lifestyle.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
FFD helped me shift my mindset around health.
Practices like journaling, reflection exercises, and forgiveness activities during the program brought a deeper mental clarity.
The strong group support, dietitian guidance, and sessions with Dr. Pramod Tripathi made the journey structured and sustainable.
