My Diabetes Story
My health journey took an unexpected turn in March 2024, when I began experiencing persistent itching in my hands. Initially, I dismissed it as a minor issue, but the discomfort grew intense enough to disrupt my daily life.
Soon after, I started feeling a sharp pain on the left side of my chest, which raised serious concerns. Acting on my symptoms, my family doctor recommended a blood sugar test, and the results were alarming—my random blood sugar was over 400 mg/dL, and my HbA1c stood at a staggering 10.7%.
I was in my early 30s, and to be diagnosed with such high sugar levels was both shocking and distressing. With a strong family history of diabetes—My mother and several maternal relatives—It felt like I was staring at a future filled with medications and potential complications.

How was FFD introduced, and what made me choose it?
At this crucial turning point, my doctor, who is also associated with Freedom from Diabetes (FFD), encouraged me with a powerful message: “Join FFD and follow it sincerely; you can become medicine-free.” Those words sparked a glimmer of hope in me.
What truly motivated me was the dream of living a medicine-free life while I was still young. I realized that if I did not take control of my health now, I would likely face more serious complications in the future.
With that conviction, I made a firm decision to commit wholeheartedly and give FFD my 100%.

Reversal Story
I followed FFD’s structured protocols sincerely—Plant-based diet, Regular physical activity, Lifestyle discipline, Yoga, and breathing practices.
In just six months, I became completely medicine-free. My HbA1c dropped to 6.4%, and my sugar levels normalized.
In just six months, I became completely medicine-free. My HbA1c dropped to 6.4%, and my sugar levels normalized.
I also lost over 12 kg naturally, going from 79–80 kg to 66–68 kg, without any supplements. Friends and family noticed the change—I looked fitter, younger, and felt lighter.
Initially, the diagnosis caused stress and sleep issues. But FFD’s emphasis on mental wellness—through Omkar chanting, Meditation, and yoga—helped me regain calmness and energy.
While I’m not into sports, I stay active with daily yoga and occasional treks around Pune. Despite getting married and welcoming a baby in the past year, I remained consistent, and the results speak for themselves.
My earlier symptoms—itching and chest discomfort—are gone. I feel more energetic, eat mindfully, and no longer experience sugar crashes.
Though I haven’t fully engaged in FFD’s Inner Transformation sessions, Even small practices like affirmations and journaling have positively shifted my mindset.

I’m deeply thankful to Dr. Jadhav, the FFD team, My family, and myself for choosing this path. FFD didn’t just help me reverse diabetes—It transformed my entire approach to health.
