My Diabetes Story

I have been living with diabetes for the past 16 years. It was diagnosed during a routine check-up, and since then, I have been regularly monitoring my sugar levels and taking medication.

Over the years, managing diabetes became a part of life but I never truly felt in control of it.

I continued with medicines, but I knew I needed something more to improve my overall health.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I came across FFD and decided to give it a try to improve my health and reduce dependency on medicines.

I wanted a structured approach that could guide me on diet, exercise, and daily routine.

My Reversal Story

After joining FFD, I started making consistent changes in my diet and lifestyle.

My HbA1c reduced from 7.3 to 6.0, and I was able to cut down my diabetes medication from 1000 mg to 500 mg.

This was a big step for me after so many years of dependency.

I also lost around 8 kg, going from 64 kg to 56 kg.

Initially, I was concerned about losing too much weight, but with proper guidance, I understood how to maintain a healthy balance.

One of the most important improvements was in my kidney function.

My eGFR improved from around 56 to above 90, which gave me a lot of confidence about my internal health.

Overall, I feel lighter, healthier, and much more energetic now.

My Athletic Identity

I follow a mix of exercises at home. I regularly do:

  • Basic exercises and yoga
  • Strength training using dumbbells
  • Different routines for legs, arms, and full body
  • I exercise around 5 days a week and keep changing my routine to stay active.
Today, I feel stronger. I can comfortably lift weights and even handle daily activities like carrying heavy bags much more easily than before.

My Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I follow a disciplined routine with proper diet and regular exercise. I also practice meditation, which helps me feel calmer and more balanced.

Looking back, I can clearly see how much my health has improved not just in reports, but in how I feel every day.

Even after 16 years of diabetes, I have been able to reduce medicines, improve my strength, and take control of my health.
