Hello all,

 

I'm Krishnamurthy Vijayan. I was the CEO of fund companies from 2000-2020 and am now an advisor to 6 CEO companies. I am 61.

My diabetes story

In the year 2000, as I was in the process of obtaining a life insurance policy for a housing loan, I received the unexpected news that I had diabetes.

Over the years, by 2004, it became evident that medications were insufficient to manage my blood sugar effectively, and I was introduced to insulin.

From that point until my journey with FFD began, my insulin dosage had escalated to a staggering 28 units, in addition to taking oral tablets.

But the complexities didn't end there; I also found myself on medications for high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and kidney concerns.

At some point I even stopped annual check ups, because every time it only said, "Add more medicine, add more insulin"

I was also sure that life-style changes would be absurdly restrictive and impossible to maintain.

How was FFD introduced?

A dear friend of mine, J. Vishwanathan, who had previously undergone brain surgery and was managing sugar levels on an insulin dosage of 140 units, achieved freedom from insulin dependency through FFD treatment.

It was his remarkable transformation that inspired and encouraged me to give FFD a try.

What made me choose FFD?

Frankly, I was skeptical, because I thought it will be a lot of alternative healing mumbo-jumbo and weird exercises and "natural medicine"

Talking directly with Dr. Pramod Tripathi did the magic. I realized he is a "Real Doctor". Secondly, he didn't promise any magic. Also what he said seemed to be "ordinary".

I enrolled myself in the FFD Type 2 diabetes reversal program assuming, well I was spending 7000-8000 a month anyway, so the fees seemed OK. Worst case, I would stop.

Reversal story

I began witnessing positive changes from the very first day. The most intriguing observation was that simply by making proper dietary choices, NOD 2hours after each meal, and testing 4 times a day, without any change of my existing prescriptions, my blood sugar levels started to decrease.

Within one month, insulin had stopped!!! ...and my biggest surprise was that my  FFD alloted Doctor, Dr. Subodh Deshmukh was appreciative but not surprised or high excited. I thought I must be a unique medical miracle, but obviously he was used to it.

I went to Pune to meet Dr. Pramod just to convey my appreciation. He too was appreciative but not stunned by my miracle...

By the 3rd month (1st test) my HBA1c was down from 14.1 to 8.1. My weight loss, from 89 kg to 77.6 kg, has been truly remarkable, and all my other health parameters have normalized.

A Word of Caution

The change is a miracle, so it is very easy to start celebrating too soon. After 6 months I was medicine-free. I celebrated a happy event at home with a series of parties and of course the traditional "muh-meetha karna" and came back to pills. Then again I am slowly struggling to get off completely in my 8th Month with FFD..... but no thyroid pills, no cholesterol pills, no Nephro pills and just 3 pills a day compared to 20 + 2 injections just 8 months ago.

It's Not Magic

My doctor, Dr. Deshmukh, called, discussed and fine tuned all the time. He still does. Dr. Husna, my dietician, similarly is on the ball, fine tuning, supporting and guiding. Dr. Anuja Bhutaney, guides and cheers me on every day for my exercises and helps fine tune them..... and the services of my mentor in the 1st 6 months was invaluable because she was herself a person who had recovered through FFD and could guide me when things seems depressing or there were setbacks.

Yes there will be setbacks, mostly self-induced (and some because of the nature of the disease), but this team hand-holds you through every one. But the key thing is that diabetes can be reversed, without magic, and don't let anyone tell you differently.

The essence of FFD is small, easy lifestyle changes, with close monitoring and mentoring. You move from one big, disappointing annual check-up, to tiny daily check-ins with 3 people who are personally committed to you.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my FFD team, including my doctor Dr. Subodh Deshmukh, diet expert Husna Begum, exercise expert Dr. Anuja Butaney and my mentor Karpagham, for their exceptional guidance and unwavering support throughout my transformative journey.

Key quote

Sometimes it just takes the conviction of one qualified person like Dr. Pramod, to challenge conventional wisdom, to treat an "untreatable condition."
