I’m Arman Ayubi from Giridih, Jharkhand. I run an ice cream manufacturing business. At 30, I never thought diabetes would become part of my life let alone in such an extreme form. But thanks to Freedom from Diabetes, I’ve transformed my health completely.
Key Takeaways
- HbA1c dropped from 13 to 4.8
- Cleared Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT)
- Completely medicine-free
- Healthy weight maintenance at 63–65 kg
My Diabetes Story
In 2021, I began experiencing excessive urination, sudden weight loss, and constant hunger. Blood tests revealed a fasting sugar of 308 mg/dL and an HbA1c of 13. It was a huge shock.
My doctor prescribed Metformin thrice a day along with cholesterol medication. But within 10 days, I realized medicines alone wouldn’t solve the problem. At 30, the thought of lifelong medication felt crushing.
Discovering FFD
Searching for a real solution, I came across Freedom from Diabetes online. I first joined their short DRS program in 2021, implementing the advice on my own. My HbA1c started dropping, which motivated me to join the full year-long FFD program in 2023.Reversal Story
Under FFD’s guidance, I took the GTT for the first time and passed it successfully. My HbA1c now stands at 4.8, and I am completely off medicine.
My exercise journey started with yoga and Surya Namaskars. I once managed 32 in one go. Later, I shifted to gym workouts focused on muscle gain.
Weight-wise, I went from severe loss during diagnosis to a stable, healthy 63–65 kg today confirmed as ideal for my BMI by my doctors.
Inner Transformation
Working with my IT expert, Udita ma’am, was a turning point. She helped me address emotional stress and family-related issues, teaching me that reversal is about mindset and emotional control as much as numbers.
Root Causes & Lessons Learned
I believe my diabetes was triggered by business stress, overwork, and low physical activity. While my grandmother had diabetes, my parents never did, so my diagnosis came as a surprise.
Life Now
I no longer live in fear of diabetes. I can even enjoy sweets occasionally without guilt, thanks to understanding my body and how to balance my diet.
My message: FFD is not just for diabetics. Even healthy people can benefit, because it teaches you the right way to live.
