Introduction

Hello All

I am Omkar Chauhan, a 25 years young Software Engineer from Mumbai. No one in my family suffers from diabetes. My lifestyle working as a software engineer is sedentary.

My diabetes story

It was detected when I had my full body checkup due to skin infections back in 2020. I believe I had it around 5 years before then as I used to feel dull, out of energy, nauseating, and had excessive sweating. I never knew I had high blood sugar till then.

Was hospitalized as my fasting and PP levels were around 450-500. Needed to be treated with insulin and heavy medication to stabilize such high sugar levels but still, the levels were above 350. HbA1c was 14+ then.

I am an explorer, trekker, and a crazy foodie but now there were restrictions on all. The first COVID lockdown added to my stress and depression, both.

I was in my final year of degree college then (23 years old) relatively young for that to happen I felt. I didn't want to continue insulin so I stopped it and continued Metformin tablets. That year was the most difficult year for me of my life, had many disturbing events and stressful times.

Problems I faced

Heaviness, restlessness, skin irritation, heavy sweating even in AC, wounds not healing fast, feeling sleepy and lazy, a horrific experience of my body always being tired and fatigued. Felt bored all the time and unable to focus. Skin infections appeared frequently. Also suffered from horrendous acidity with pain.

My introduction to FFD

I joined one renowned institute for treatment in 2021 and gave up allopathy medicines as I didn't want to damage my liver but that wasn't effective. My sugar levels were around 370 and my HbA1c was around 13.8. It was in 2021 I came to know about type 1 and type 2 diabetes and luckily my c-peptide levels were in range but to the lower side. Until then, I only knew that diabetes is forever and never reversible.

I came to know about FFD in 2022 through my mentor. I decided to join it and give it a try because I wanted to defeat this disorder and be normal again.

FFD journey

When I started with the FFD diabetes reversal program HTP in March 2022, my HbA1c was around 13.8. I requested the assigned doctor not to prescribe insulin and he started with Metformin. Within a month, my medications were stopped.

The most beautiful part of the journey I felt was the technical knowledge I acquired through Freedom from Diabetes about the body and how everything works in great detail. It was encouraging. When medications were stopped, my blood sugar was reaching in the normal range which was a rare sight.

I had a tremendous change in weight and BMI. People don't recognize me now as I was overweight around 85 kg in December 2021 and lost almost 20 kg. I can wear my 10th-grade shirts or my favorite shirts from 10 years back. My journey is fantastic. I enjoyed intermittent fasting as I went for 144 hours of fasting once and the experience was something different.

Impression

I feel light as I've never felt that before. Sweating issues are resolved. I feel confident as my body is taking shape, no infections now, and I am full of energy with an alkaline body. A complete 360° lifestyle change is what I've experienced. Better self-control over my body.
