My Diabetes Story
I had been prediabetic for a very long time and also living with hypothyroidism for over 15 years.
Despite being health-conscious in many ways, I was still struggling.
I had already experimented with plant-based diets years ago and had briefly brought my HbA1c down to 5.9, but it was never sustainable.
I had already experimented with plant-based diets years ago and had briefly brought my HbA1c down to 5.9, but it was never sustainable.
One major mistake I was making was over-consuming fruits, believing they were always healthy. I was eating large quantities without understanding how fructose affects blood sugar.
Over time, my weight increased steadily and eventually reached 78 kg.
Then came the moment when my HbA1c hit 6.5, and I officially became diabetic.
Alongside diabetes, I was also dealing with:
- Hypothyroidism
- Urticaria
- Tinnitus
- Foot pain and heel pain
- Tingling in the right foot
- Poor sleep
- Low B12 causing vertigo and balance issues
- My body was clearly asking for help.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
Initially, I was not very keen because I had already tried another structured health program in the past.
But seeing my sister’s transformation convinced me to give it a chance.

Joining FFD changed my understanding completely.
I realized health is not just about “eating less” or “avoiding sugar.” It is about:
- Understanding food science
- Meal timing
- Fasting
- Reading labels
- Portion balance
- Protein intake
- Sustainable habits
This program helped me move from random healthy eating to intelligent healthy living.

Reversal Story
With FFD, I gradually started making practical changes:
- Following structured meals
- Including salads and raw vegetables properly
- Learning fasting techniques
- Skipping one meal comfortably
- Better food choices during social occasions
- Improved awareness of processed foods and labels
- I currently follow a simpler eating pattern:
- Breakfast
- Dinner
- No lunch on most days
My HbA1c dropped from 6.5 to 6.1 and my weight is maintained at 65.2 kg.
During Fast for Freedom, my weight even dropped to 64 kg, losing around 4 kg.

One of the most fascinating changes I noticed was during fasting:
All my aches and pains reduced significantly.
My:
- Knee pain improved
- Heel pain improved
- General inflammation reduced
I also noticed a major improvement in urticaria after leaving dairy. My sleep quality improved, and I now sleep much better than before.
- Other improvements include:
- Better liver markers
- No vertigo
- No balance issues
- Better B12 awareness and supplementation
- Reduced tingling in feet
What I love most is that FFD gave me lifelong knowledge.
Now I understand: Food is science, and the body is machinery.
Athletic Identity
My athletic identity is swimming and cycling.
I enjoy cycling in my gated community and want to become more regular with it.
I also love swimming and am now learning to improve my swimming skills further.
Because of foot pain and heel issues, high-impact activities like running are not ideal for me, so I prefer sustainable activities that I enjoy.
My next goal is:
- Build muscle mass
- Reduce body fat further
- Reach ideal BMI
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I approach health very differently.
I now:
- Read food labels before buying anything
- Understand fasting and gut rest
- Cook healthier versions of foods at home
- Follow better portion control
- Prioritize mindful eating
FFD also helped me during a personally demanding phase.
My father was critically ill for several months, and balancing hospital duties, office work, travel, and family responsibilities was extremely stressful.

Even during that time, the lifestyle habits I had learned helped me stay more aware and resilient.
FFD isn’t just a diabetes program. It teaches you how to live.
Inner Transformation
I had one-on-one sessions with FFD psychologists, which were very helpful.
These sessions helped me with:
- Sleep routines
- Stress management
- Emotional balance
- I learned that health is not only physical.
Mental health, food habits, sleep, movement, and emotional resilience are deeply connected.
That holistic approach is what makes FFD different.
