For almost 10 years, diabetes was a part of my life.

Today, I've lost 24 kg, stopped all my diabetes medicines within four months, transformed into a cyclist who comfortably rides 100 kilometres, and most importantly, I've regained complete confidence in my health.
This is my journey.

My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed with diabetes nearly 10 years ago when I went for a routine medical evaluation before undergoing eye surgery for squint.
With a strong family history my mother was diabetic, and my grandfather suffered diabetic retinopathy and eventually underwent amputation.
I knew the disease could become serious if left unchecked.

Although I remained disciplined with walking, my diet wasn't helping.
My HbA1c stayed around 7.4, I weighed 94 kg, experienced tingling and numbness in my feet, and relied on nearly eight tablets every day for diabetes and blood pressure.

No matter how much I exercised, nothing seemed to change.
How I Was Introduced to FFD
My search for a solution began after meeting a close friend in the US who had completely transformed his health through a lifestyle-based diabetes reversal program.
Curious, I started researching diabetes reversal and came across Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Freedom From Diabetes through social media and a Discover Reversal Session (DRS).
The science, patient stories, and structured approach made complete sense to me.

I enrolled with one goal to finally break free from diabetes instead of merely managing it.
My Reversal Story
From the very beginning, I committed myself completely to the FFD lifestyle.
I followed every recommendation from my doctors, dietitians, and exercise experts with full discipline. I completely stopped alcohol, corrected my food habits, and trusted the process.
The results exceeded every expectation.
Within four months, I became completely free from diabetes medicines.
My weight dropped from 94 kg to 70 kg, a remarkable 24 kg transformation, while my HbA1c improved from 7.4 to 6.4.
The biggest surprise was the way my body started performing.
During one of the busiest financial year-end periods, when I routinely worked 15–16 hour days, I expected to feel exhausted.
Instead, I experienced sustained energy, sharper focus, and almost no mental fatigue.

For the first time, I truly understood how closely food, metabolism, and productivity are connected.
The breathing techniques I learned through FFD also became invaluable before important presentations and meetings, helping me stay calm, focused, and confident under pressure.
My Athletic Identity
Today, movement has become a lifestyle. My primary athletic identity is Cycling.
-
I regularly ride 50–60 km on my bicycle.
-
I have successfully completed a 100 km cycling ride.
-
I perform strength training several times a week.
-
I practice yoga regularly.
-
I complete Surya Namaskars as part of my routine.
-
I have comfortably finished a 10 km corporate run.
-
Fitness is no longer something I do to control diabetes — it has become a part of who I am.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Looking back, I realise that reversing diabetes was only one part of this journey.
The biggest transformation happened in my mindset.
FFD gave me scientific knowledge, practical guidance, and an incredibly organised support system that made every step feel achievable.
Today I feel lighter, stronger, calmer, and far more productive not just in my personal life but professionally as well.
For me, this wasn't simply weight loss or diabetes reversal. It was a complete lifestyle transformation.
