Hello all,

I'm Chandan Kumar from Bangalore. I am working with Kennametal India Limited, Bangalore, a Multinational Tooling solution company based out of USA, as Sr. Manager Application Engineering looking after customers in India & APAC for their requirements for wear solutions.

I am a gold medalist in M. Tech (Product Engg & System Tech) from National institute of Engineering, Mysore. 

My diabetes story

In May 2020, during my annual health checkup, I received the unexpected diagnosis of diabetes. Prior to this, I had been experiencing frequent fatigue, particularly after my job-related travels and customer visits.

I also noticed an increase in my pulse rate and occasional spikes in my blood pressure. Anxiety and depression began to affect me as well.

Following the diagnosis, I was initially prescribed Glycomet 500 (1-0-1), but within six months, I had to switch to Glycomet 0.5 GP (1-0-1).

It's worth mentioning that my father developed diabetes following his bypass surgery, and I have other relatives who also developed diabetes at an older age, typically after the age of 65.

How was FFD introduced?

I learned about Freedom from Diabetes (FFD) through two different sources. The first was a recommendation from my manager, Mr. Swamy Mahanthappa, who introduced me to the program.

Additionally, I came across a WhatsApp forward from Dr. B.M. Hegde, who recommended the diabetes reversal process offered by FFD. These references piqued my interest in exploring FFD and its potential to help me in my journey to manage diabetes effectively.

What made me choose FFD?

I never liked being on medicines. With FFD, I saw a hope of going free of medicines. The introductory webinar by Dr. Pramod Tripathi added to my confidence and I enrolled in Freedom from Diabetes type 2 diabetes reversal program - HTP immediately.

Reversal story

During the pandemic, I experienced significant financial constraints, which made it challenging to explore new opportunities. However, as circumstances began to improve, I decided to take control of my health.

In September 2021, I took a significant step by joining the Freedom from Diabetes program. The program's official batch commencement was scheduled for October 9, 2021.

To my surprise and delight, the FFD team reached out to me immediately, ensuring that all arrangements were made by September 18, 2021.

Once I was on board, I received personalized diet and exercise plans tailored to my needs. What made the journey even more remarkable was the support from my assigned doctor, who provided regular guidance and advice.

Thanks to the collective efforts and the effective program, I achieved the extraordinary feat of becoming medication-free for diabetes within a mere two weeks. This speedy progress was indeed impressive.

My weight loss with FFD treatment has also been impressive. Now I fall in the normal category.

I witnessed a significant improvement, with my HbA1c levels dropping from 6.7 to 5.6, demonstrating the effectiveness of the program and my commitment to it.

As a result of this transformation, I now feel lighter, healthier, and more energetic than ever before. My newfound vigor allows me to engage with and excel in various projects and activities, free from the constraints of diabetes.

I continue to adhere to the Diet and Exercise of Phase 1, as recommended by FFD, to maintain my progress and enhance my overall health.

Additionally, I've experienced a positive change in my sleep patterns. I now enjoy restful nights, waking up naturally and energetically without the need for an alarm.

The misconception of lifelong medication dependency has been shattered! I strongly advocate that it is advisable to enroll in FFD as soon as an individual is diagnosed with diabetes. Additionally, for those at risk of developing diabetes, such as individuals who are overweight or have a family history of the condition, following FFD protocols is highly recommended.
