Diabetes had always existed somewhere around me through family history. My grandmother was on insulin, and many family members were either diabetic or prediabetic. But honestly, I never thought it would start affecting me this early.
After pregnancy, my weight increased significantly, my lifestyle became irregular, and unhealthy eating slowly became a daily habit. Along with weight gain, I also started facing PCOS symptoms, irregular periods, bloating, acidity, hot flashes, fatigue, and emotional stress.
When my HbA1c crossed into the prediabetic range, I realized I could no longer ignore my health.
Joining FFD became one of the biggest turning points of my life.
Key Takeaways:
- Prediabetic HbA1c 6 to 6.1

- Introduced healthier food habits for the entire family
- Practices 25 Surya Namaskars daily
My Diabetes Story
Diabetes had a strong family history in my home.
My grandmother was on insulin, and many people in my family were either diabetic or prediabetic.
Still, I never imagined I would start moving toward diabetes at just 33.

After pregnancy, my weight increased to almost 96 kg, and despite trying gyms and dieting over the years, my weight stayed between 85–88 kg.
At the same time, my eating habits had become unhealthy.
Evening snacking, outside food, stress eating, pani puri, sandwiches, bhel; all of this had quietly become a regular part of my routine.
Slowly, my health started showing signs:
- PCOS
- Irregular periods
- Acne
- Hair fall
- Hot flashes
- Suffocation and heaviness
- Fatty liver
- Digestive issues after gallbladder surgery
I remember one day feeling so uncomfortable and breathless that I rushed to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack.
That was the moment I realized something had to change.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
I first attended the Discover Reversal Session after getting a reference from one of the directors in my office.
During the webinar, Dr. Pramod Tripathi explained how people ignore prediabetes thinking it is “just the beginning.”
That line stayed with me. I knew I did not want to become diabetic in the future.
I wanted to control my HbA1c, lose weight, improve my hormonal health, and most importantly learn how to manage my health properly.
FFD felt like an investment in my lifestyle rather than just another diet program.
And that decision changed everything.
Reversal Story
After joining FFD, I finally received the structured guidance I had been missing for years.
For the first time, I understood:
- How food affects insulin
- The importance of meal timing
- Portion balance
- Mindful eating
- Intermittent fasting
- How to manage cravings practically
- My dietitian played a huge role in my transformation.
Instead of forcing extreme restrictions, she helped me transition gradually and sustainably.
Even when I had cravings, I learned how to choose healthier options mindfully.

- Month by month, I started losing weight consistently.
- Eventually, my weight came down from 88 kg to 72 kg.
I also successfully cleared my GTT, my energy levels improved, my bloating reduced, sleep improved, acne reduced, and I finally started feeling lighter and healthier.
Most importantly, I learned how to maintain balance without fear.
Athletic Identity
Because of a hernia issue, gym workouts were difficult for me. So instead of depending on gyms, I created my own routine at home.
Today, I practice:
- Daily Surya Namaskars
- Home workouts
- Warm-up routines
- Intermittent fasting
- Daily movement and stretching
My highest achievement has been completing 25 Surya Namaskars daily.
FFD helped me realize that fitness does not always require expensive setups, consistency matters more.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, healthy living has become a natural part of my family’s routine.
FFD didn’t just change my health, it transformed our household eating habits completely.
Earlier, salads were missing from our meals. Portion balance was never discussed. Outside food was normal.
Now:
- We eat more consciously
- My husband enjoys healthier meals
- I control my son’s portions mindfully
- I continue green juices and balanced meals
- I practice fasting whenever needed
- I understand how my body reacts to food
- I no longer look at prediabetes with fear.
Instead, I feel empowered because now I know how to manage it.
The biggest gift FFD gave me was awareness.
