My Diabetes Story
I come from a family with a strong history of diabetes, so deep down, I always knew I might face it one day. Still, like many working professionals, I ignored the warning signs.
During annual checkups, my sugar levels were steadily rising, but I kept brushing them aside. About 4–5 years ago, they started creeping up more noticeably, yet I didn’t take them seriously.
Then, around September or October last year, everything changed. My HbA1c shot up to 9.4, and I began to feel it—chronic fatigue, frequent headaches, leg pain, disturbed sleep, and digestive issues.
At first, I blamed stress or my hectic lifestyle, but once the lab reports came in, everything made sense. It was diabetes—and I knew it was time to take action.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
A neighbor introduced me to Freedom from Diabetes after sharing how he dropped his HbA1c from over 8 to 6 in just a few months, which immediately caught my interest.
At the time, I was juggling a high-pressure IT job and didn’t have the bandwidth for trial-and-error solutions — I needed structured, science-backed support.
What stood out about FFD was not just the expert guidance, but also the home-based exercise protocols that made it easy for me to begin and stay consistent.
I enrolled in the FFD's annual program HTP.

Reversal Story
Yes — it’s true. Within just two weeks of joining FFD, I was completely off all diabetes medications. That still amazes me. And the best part? My latest HbA1c, checked just a few days ago, is down to 5.5–5.6.
Before joining FFD, My weight had shot up to 82.5 kg. I struggled with unhealthy eating habits — sugary tea, high-carb meals without fiber, late dinners, poor sleep, and chronic stress.
Thanks to FFD’s structured diet protocols, stage-wise exercises, and later adopting intermittent fasting (16:8), I managed to bring my weight down to 71 kg — Losing around 11.5–12.5 kg in the process.
I also attended a couple of Inner Transformation sessions. While I didn’t dive too deep, since my issues were mostly lifestyle-related, the sessions still helped me build mental clarity and develop a powerful pause before reacting.
Now, before I eat anything, I instinctively pause and reflect — a shift in awareness that came only after joining FFD.
I have never been a sportsperson — I do not play cricket or run marathons — but today, my stamina and strength are on another level.
Earlier, just half a day of travel would wear me out. Now, I get through long workdays and travel without feeling drained. The home-based exercises, anti-gravity routines, and especially the Nitric Oxide Dump worked wonders for my energy and metabolism.
My fasting insulin also dropped significantly, from 18 to 4, indicating deep metabolic healing.
Mentally, I feel sharp, light, and calm — Not just active, But alert and focused. It’s as if the mental fog I had been carrying for years has finally lifted.
FFD hasn’t just freed me from diabetes — It has given me a new way of living: disciplined, mindful, and fully energized. All thanks to a structured, doable program I could follow from home, even with a hectic schedule.
