Hello, I am N S Kamakshi, a 46-year-old Carnatic vocalist from Chennai. I had been living with diabetes for almost 12 years.

Initially, I was managing it with tablets, but over time my condition progressed and I eventually had to start insulin injections daily. Along with that, I was also taking medicines for cholesterol and blood pressure.

At one point, it felt like medicines were only increasing. That is when my family decided to explore Freedom From Diabetes with the hope of finding a more sustainable and natural approach to health.

Today, I have stopped insulin, reduced my HbA1c significantly, lost over 18 kg, and feel much healthier overall.

My Diabetes Story

Diabetes has been a part of my life for more than a decade.

For many years, I managed it with tablets. But slowly, my condition progressed and insulin became necessary. I was taking insulin daily along with other medicines for blood pressure and cholesterol.

There was also a strong family history of diabetes, as both my mother and brother have diabetes.

Even though I did not experience severe diabetes symptoms like excessive thirst or fatigue, I knew that depending on increasing medicines was not the direction I wanted for my health.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

We joined Freedom From Diabetes mainly because I had started insulin therapy.

My family wanted to explore whether lifestyle-based changes could help improve my condition naturally.

The structured approach of FFD as explained in the Discover Reversal Session gave us hope that diabetes management could go beyond medicines alone.

So we decided to trust the process and begin the journey.

Reversal Story

When I joined the program, my HbA1c was 10.2. One of the biggest turning points came very early in the journey.

Within just 1 month, I was able to stop 8 units of daily insulin completely.

Over time, my HbA1c reduced significantly to 6.8.

Alongside this, I was also able to stop cholesterol medicines, and blood pressure tablets.

Another major transformation was my weight loss journey.

I reduced my weight from 71 kg to 53.3 kg, losing more than 18 kg naturally through consistent lifestyle changes.

This transformation brought lightness, better mobility, and overall improved confidence.

Athletic Identity

Exercise slowly became an important part of my routine.

I regularly practice:

Yoga
Breathing exercises
Muscle Gain activities.

I also participated in fasting protocols and followed alternate-day fasting guidance as part of the program.

These changes helped me become more disciplined and aware of my health.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Alongside diabetes, I have also been managing essential tremors and undergoing treatment for it.

Even with those challenges, improving my lifestyle has helped me feel healthier and more stable overall.

Today, my family feels much happier and more relieved seeing my progress.

The biggest change has been the confidence that health can improve naturally when the body is supported with the right food, movement, and habits.
