My Diabetes Story

My diabetes journey began in 2012, even before my baby was born. I was just 21 and had gained a lot of weight, nearly 80 kg.

A routine checkup revealed high blood sugar, and soon I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

Over time, my health complications multiplied. I developed thyroid issues, PCOS, and fatty liver, and was eventually prescribed insulin along with multiple medicines for BP and liver function.

Despite trying walks and diet changes, my sugars fluctuated, my HBA1c touched 11, and my weight kept rising.

At one point, I weighed 114 kg. I often felt trapped as a young mother, full of responsibilities, yet constantly tired, anxious, and restricted.

How FFD Came Into My Life

My turning point came when I saw Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s videos online. His scientific explanations about reversal rather than control struck a deep chord.

Soon, I joined FFD’s Holistic Transformation Program (HTP) and decided to follow it wholeheartedly, no half-measures, no excuses.

Within weeks of starting the plant-based diet, intermittent fasting, and personalized exercise plan, my sugar readings began dropping steadily.

The structured guidance from the doctor, dietitian, and exercise mentor gave me confidence that real reversal was possible.

My Reversal Journey

When I joined FFD, I was on insulin and several medicines for thyroid and BP. Within 1 month I was completely insulin-free.

My HBA1c fell from around 11 to below 7, and my creatinine and liver reports normalized.

Today, I take only a minimal cholesterol tablet, more as a preventive step advised by my family doctor.

In total, I lost 19 kg (114 to 95 kg) through clean eating, fasting, and consistent exercise.

I even participated in FFD’s 9-Day Fast For Freedom Program, which felt like a complete body reset. My sugar readings stabilized, energy soared, and I experienced what true detoxification feels like.

Athletic Identity

Earlier, joint pain and fatigue kept me from walking even short distances. Now, I enjoy regular gym workouts, yoga, and fasting cycles.

My body feels lighter, my mind sharper, and my confidence stronger.

The biggest joy? I wake up refreshed, feel energetic all day, and no longer crave sugar or comfort foods.

Inner Transformation

FFD’s inner transformation workshops helped me look within. I realised how much stress and emotional load affected my health.

As a social worker, I often deal with people’s problems, but these sessions taught me to care for my own emotional well-being too.

I now practice simple breathing, self-reflection, and gratitude whenever I feel overwhelmed.

This shift in mindset has been as powerful as the physical transformation.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I’m medicine-free, insulin-free, and fear-free. My HBA1c remains stable, my weight is steady around 95 kg, and my confidence has soared.

FFD taught me discipline without deprivation, how to heal with food, move with purpose, and live with awareness.

I still dream of achieving a perfect GTT soon, that’s my next goal but even now, I feel healthier than I have in years.
