My diabetes diagnosis happened unexpectedly during a blood test for a severe cluster headache. When the reports came, my HbA1c and post-meal sugar levels were high, which confirmed diabetes.
At that time, I had no symptoms at all, so the diagnosis came as a surprise. But I decided that if I had caught it early, I would do everything possible to reverse it naturally without lifelong medicines.
Key Takeaways
- HbA1c improved from around 7 to 6.3 and stayed stable
- Weight reduced from 66.5 kg to 61.5 kg in 3 months
- Gained back weight 65.5 kg with muscle gain
- Cleared the Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) Test
- Reduced body fat and improved body composition
- Significant improvements in liver markers and inflammation levels
- Built a strong fitness routine with gym training
My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was diagnosed during a routine blood investigation when I was undergoing tests for a severe headache.
The reports showed elevated HbA1c and high post-meal sugar levels, even though I had no noticeable symptoms.
There is a family history of diabetes, as my father developed diabetes around the age of 60.
However, my diagnosis came much earlier at the age of 40.
However, my diagnosis came much earlier at the age of 40.
Initially, I tried to manage my condition with Ayurvedic medicines and lifestyle adjustments, which helped reduce my HbA1c from around 7 to 6.5.
But after that, my progress became stagnant, and I realized I needed a more structured approach.

How I Discovered FFD
While searching on Google for doctors who focus on diabetes reversal without medicines, I came across Dr. Pramod Tripathi and the Freedom From Diabetes program.
What impressed me most was the feedback and transformation stories from other participants.
Many people were talking about reversing diabetes and even clearing the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT).

I realized that FFD was not just about diet, it was a complete health ecosystem with doctors, dietitians, exercise experts, psychologists, and lifestyle coaches working together.
That holistic approach convinced me to join the program.

My Reversal Journey
When I joined the program, my HbA1c was around 6.3.
Although the number remained similar in my latest reports, the real transformation happened internally.
Over the years, my body composition improved significantly. I reduced my weight from around 66.5 kg to 61.5 kg, mainly by losing excess fat.
Later, when I started strength training and muscle-building exercises, my weight increased slightly to around 65.5 kg, but this time it was due to healthy muscle gain rather than fat.
One of the biggest milestones for me was clearing the Impaired Glucose Tolerance Test (IGT), which confirmed that my body had significantly improved its glucose handling capacity.
Other Health Improvements
The program also helped me understand that health is much more than just sugar numbers.
Through the FFD guidance, I learned about important health markers such as:
- Vitamin B12 levels
- Vitamin D3 levels
- HS-CRP (inflammation marker)
- Liver enzyme ratios (SGPT–SGOT)
Many of these markers improved during the program.
FFD taught me how to reduce fat, maintain an alkaline balance in the body, and manage long-term metabolic health.
Athletic Identity
One of the most exciting transformations for me has been my fitness journey.
With encouragement from my diet coach Ruchi Sharma, I decided to join a gym at the age of 40.
Today, I train regularly and have built good strength. In fact, I can now perform a leg press of around 80 kg, something I never imagined earlier.
Going to the gym has become an important part of my daily routine and overall health.
Inner Transformation
Another valuable part of the program was the psychology sessions with Paramita ma’am.
These sessions helped me learn breathing techniques and stress management strategies, which are extremely helpful in handling daily life pressures.
What impressed me the most was how the psychologists deeply understood the problem and provided practical solutions during the same session.
It felt reassuring to have someone who genuinely listened and guided you.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, my understanding of health has completely changed.
FFD taught me that diabetes management is not just about sugar levels, it is about learning how to live a healthy life.
The knowledge I gained is not only helping me but also benefiting my entire family, because the lifestyle changes are sustainable for everyone.
I now know how to manage my diet, fitness, stress, and overall health in a balanced way.
