From 20 Years of Insulin to Empowered Living – My FFD Transformation

Name - Mrs. Mukta Batra

Profession - Banker
Place - Delhi, India

Hello all,
I’m Mukta Batra, a banker by profession and a warrior by life circumstances. For 20 years, I lived with diabetes—managed by insulin, pumps, and a whole lot of trial and error. But thanks to FFD, I finally experienced what true balance, empowerment, and progress feel like.

Key Takeaways

Reduced insulin dosage from 38 to ~30 units/day
Lost 7 kg (from 62 to 55 kg)
HbA1c maintained at 5.8–6.1
Started journaling through Inner Transformation

My Diabetes Story

My journey began with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Unlike most cases, my sugar levels never normalized, even a year after delivery.

Despite my family history being limited to post-50 diabetes, I was diagnosed much earlier.

For 2–3 years, I resisted insulin. I tried everything — strict diets, exercise regimens, multiple medications — but nothing worked consistently. Eventually, I had to start taking insulin.

Even then, I struggled. I tried all insulin combinations — 30/70, 50/50, 80/20 — nothing gave stability. Being in a demanding job, I couldn’t afford sugar crashes. But I had them anyway.

I’ve had episodes during meetings where I couldn’t even respond properly. That’s when I shifted to full insulin therapy, and later, to an insulin pump around 2016–17.

It helped — but only partially.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I heard about FFD and decided to join in November 2022. Honestly, I was hesitant at first — about the cost, my ability to stick to it, and whether I’d get the kind of attention I needed. But I took the leap. And I’m so glad I did.

Reversal Story

The first person I want to thank is my diet expert, Shraddha. She didn’t force a rigid plan on me. She listened, adapted, and made my plan fit into my real life. That empathy made all the difference.

My exercise expert, Aditi, helped me develop a steady, sustainable fitness routine. And Dr. Mrunalini, my medical support, guided me not just with diabetes but also through menopause — a time that can feel so confusing for women.

With this team by my side:

lost 7 kg (from 62 to 55 kg)
Insulin reduced from 38 units/day to around 30
Vitamin D and B12 levels improved with supplements
HbA1c remained stable between 5.8 and 6.1
Though my thyroid medication didn’t change, my overall well-being improved significantly. I stayed insulin-only — no oral medications at all.

Inner Transformation Experience

I couldn’t attend all the Inner Transformation sessions, but I picked up journaling, which became a powerful outlet. On overwhelming days, I’d write freely — no filters, just emotion. It gave me clarity and a sense of calm. I now know how to pause and reflect, something I never used to do.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

After completing one year of the Holistic Transformation Program, I feel grateful and proud.

I had almost resigned myself to steady weight gain and complete insulin dependence.

Even my diabetologist had told me, “Insulin = Weight Gain. It’s inevitable.” But FFD proved that wrong.

Today, I feel lighter, more energetic, and most importantly — more in control.
