My Diabetes Story

I was diagnosed with diabetes more than 34 years ago.

At that time, I had a strong liking for sweets, especially jalebis.

One day, when my blood sugar was checked, the reading came back at nearly 340 mg/dL. That was when I first learned that I had diabetes.

There was also a family history of diabetes, as both my parents were diabetic.

In the early years, I did not experience many noticeable symptoms.

However, over time, diabetes began affecting different aspects of my health.

One issue I clearly remember was dental problems, which I later realized were connected to my uncontrolled sugar levels.

As the years passed, diabetes became more difficult to manage.

Eventually, I reached a stage where I was taking a total of 100 units of insulin every day.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

During the COVID lockdown in 2020, my husband came across Freedom From Diabetes and suggested that I explore the program.

At that stage, I had been living with diabetes for decades and was heavily dependent on insulin.

My biggest hope was simple: I wanted to reduce my dependence on insulin and improve my overall health.

I joined the program after attending the Discover Reversal Session with an open mind and decided to follow the guidance sincerely.

My Reversal Journey

When I joined FFD, I was taking approximately 100 units of insulin every day.

Even after so many years of diabetes, I never imagined that becoming insulin-free was possible.

But within just 4 months of following the program, I completely stopped insulin.

That remains one of the biggest milestones of my health journey.

Along with insulin, my diabetes medicines were also reduced significantly.

My HbA1c, which was once around 10.5%, came down substantially over time.

At one stage, it reached as low as 6.5%, something I had never expected after living with diabetes for so many years.

Recently, I have experienced some fluctuations in my blood sugar levels due to recurring health challenges and stress, but the transformation I achieved remains life-changing.

Most importantly, I now know that my body is capable of improving, even after decades of diabetes.

A 25 Kg Transformation One of the most visible changes was my weight loss.

When I joined FFD, I weighed 105 kg.

Over time, I lost approximately 25 kg and brought my weight down to around 80 kg.

The weight reduction itself transformed how I felt physically.

Earlier, I carried significant excess weight, which made movement more difficult and affected my overall well-being.

Losing weight gave me greater confidence and improved my day-to-day comfort.

Building Healthy Habits

FFD helped me establish a routine that I continue to follow even today.

Exercise became a regular part of my life.

For nearly 30 to 45 minutes every morning, I practiced exercises such as:
  • Squats
  • Wall push-ups
  • Yoga
  • Kapalbhati
  • Breathing exercises
These practices became an important part of my daily routine and helped me stay active and disciplined.

Although I currently avoid fasting, I have remained committed to maintaining healthier lifestyle habits.

My Experience with FFD

My experience with Freedom From Diabetes has been extremely positive.

The support from the dietitians, exercise experts, and the entire team helped me achieve a transformation I once believed was impossible.

The biggest gift FFD gave me was freedom from insulin.

After 34 years of diabetes, that achievement alone changed my outlook completely.

It showed me that meaningful improvements are possible, regardless of how long someone has been diabetic.
