• Name- Mrs. Madhumita Kothe
• Profession- Housewife
• Place -Pune

My name is Mrs. Madhumita Kothe. Today I am very happy and excited to share my diabetes reversal journey  ... "I am diabetic, to I was diabetic".

Life was going on smoothly & happily until one day in 2013. I was happy doing my housework, taking care of my daughter Riya and my husband.

I was frequently involved in the outing, eating, no exercise, no diet. In short, I was enjoying my age 34 (with much of life settlement) & with my body weight of 80 kgs (with a casual lifestyle).

I still remember the day when I was detected with gestational diabetes during the second pregnancy.

The happiness of my second princess Ira's birth was much more than seriousness about my own health.
I was still relaxed, had no control over eating habits & was happy with the "shortcut" of tablets to control my sugar levels.

I always used to give an excuse about “Time" to self-regarding the exercise part. This continued up to 2016 & I slowly started realizing about the health issues triggered due to high sugar levels despite having tablets.

My physician gave me the last ultimatum that if I cannot change my eating habits & lazy routine we might have to shift on "Insulin" medication. Oh my God! Insulin every day was a scary thought. I was just 34.

The innocent faces of my beloved once splashed in front of my eyes. How many more years will I survive on insulin? I was scared, tensed, stressed, upset, & speechless at that time.

I never imagined my life as a "Diabetic" patient. People around added the shock with lots of myths like "Diabetes is not reversible" "medicines are lifeline now" etc. I wanted to have my good health back for all the near & dear ones. If I am fit, my house is fit & vice-versa.

I started researching diabetes treatments. In proportion with my increasing sugar levels, my determination about fighting the health issues was increasing.

I set myself on the journey of discovering a healthy lifestyle. "Freedom from Diabetes" these 3 words are magical as it's everyone's dream. I joined a diabetes reversal program i.e Holistic Transformation Program (batch 34). I consider 15th December 2016 as my rebirth when I met diabetes specialist, Dr. Pramod Tripathi.

He is my guru who assured me to give my health back with the simple condition to follow the exact path decided by the FFD team. Of course! The path was not easy. Strict diet & exercise, at the first instance, was like “climbing Everest".

But continuous support from the FFD team motivation from family members & last but not least self-determination pushed me on the navigated road to reach my destination.

A strict "Vegan" diet, 1-hour cycling, yoga helped me to gain confidence about dream fulfillment. The journey was tough as this lifestyle was completely new. Lots of temptations around to deviate from the path.

Self-control & dedication and upcoming results kept me moving. Positive changes in energy level weight reduction & most importantly maintained sugar levels without medicines was my reward for the hard work & efforts.

Weight reduction from 80kgs to 54kgs boosted my overall confidence & morale. HbA1c 7.8 to 4.8 was documentary evidence about the result of my journey.

The ultimate challenge was the GTT test & with pride & happiness, I want to share that I have continuously cleared 3 GTT with excellent results.

When I look into the mirror now, I see much confidence in me, I feel beautiful, a happy strong lady who loves herself and takes care of her health so that in turn she can backbone her family.

Words are short to thank my Guru diabetes specialist, Dr. Pramod Tripathi, for enlightening my life. Dr. Ritu ma'am & FFD team. I’m so grateful to all of you for what you have done for me.

Finally, I completed the health Everest expedition & I was felicitated with the divine hands of Sri Sri Ravishankarji. This made me set a new challenge to myself about maintaining my health.

A new expedition of new rejuvenated Madhumita has started. Now "Madhu" that is sweetness is only in my name & behavior but not anymore in my blood!
