My Diabetes Story
My diabetes diagnosis happened in March 2024. It was through a routine medical checkup. Since there is no family history, The revelation was shocking. I believe it was the professional stress mainly the work pattern which had affected my health.
Earlier to that, I suffered from a heart attack in September 2020 after which I got a stent implanted.
My other health issues were hypertension from 2015 and high cholesterol from 2020.
Upon receiving the diabetes diagnosis, My primary concern was whether I would have to remain dependent on medication for life. My physician confirmed that lifelong medication was necessary, which prompted me to seek alternative solutions.
How was FFD introduced?
I learned about Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) through a colleague, Hardik, who had joined the program a couple of years earlier. Another colleague, Dharmik, also recommended the program, and together we decided to enroll in FFD last year.
What made me choose FFD?
I never liked being on medicines for diabetes, and wanted good sugar control. FFD was offering hope so I enrolled in its type 2 diabetes reversal program HTP along with my friend.

Reversal Story
The FFD team conducted a thorough assessment of my case and developed a customized plan to address my specific needs. Upon implementing their recommended regimen, I began to see positive outcomes.
My sugars began falling in place and within 20-30 days my diabetes medication stopped, which was fantastic. My HbA1c level improved from 7.6 to 5.5.
I successfully lost weight, Going from 77.6 kg to 66 kg.
My cholesterol medicine dosage has been reduced to half as the levels are normal. I am very happy with this progress in reversal of co-morbidity.
I'm very proud to have Cleared the GTT with flying colors and removed my diabetic tag, all thanks to FFD.
Given my history of heart issues and the demanding nature of my profession, Which often involves late-night work and mental stress, I found stress management to be an essential part of my transformation.
While my profession is inherently stressful, I would credit FFD for bringing significant positive changes to my life.
I have always been connected to BAPS (Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha), a Hindu religious organization, and have been practicing meditation as part of my daily spiritual routine.
This daily 40-minute puja includes Meditation, where I reflect on divine bliss and inner peace. This practice has helped me significantly in managing stress and maintaining a sense of calm.
I am fit enough to climb the four floors of my office carrying my 10.5 kg laptop several times a day.
I cycle upto 35 km once every week and perform 108 surya namaskars every Sunday.
All the experts have done a wonderful job.
