- Name - Mrs. Suma Milind Nayak
- Age - 67 Years Young
- Profession - Designer
- Place - Karnataka
Hello all,
I’m Suma Milind Nayak, a fashion designer by profession and an artist at heart. I used to run a boutique and loved designing clothes for little girls. Life took me on an unexpected journey of grief, illness, and finally, healing. Today, thanks to Freedom From Diabetes (FFD), I feel stronger, more aware, and more alive not just physically, but emotionally too.
Key Takeaways
- HbA1c dropped from 8.2% to 5.8%
- Off medication within 15 days of joining FFD
- Lost 7 kg initially, then gained back strength to stabilize at 50–51 kg
My Diabetes Story
My diabetes wasn’t the kind you inherit, it was the kind that grows silently through pain, loss, and emotional trauma. After I lost my husband, artist Milind Nayak, I fell into a long period of emotional lows.
A few years later, I also lost my sister-in-law suddenly, followed by the loss of my beloved pet, my in-laws, my parents, and watching my daughter go through an abusive marriage.
Even with a postgraduate degree in psychology, I didn’t realize how much my subconscious stress was affecting my body.
Eventually, a blood test showed my HbA1c at 8.2%.
My doctor reassured me it was stress-induced and put me on tablets. Within a month, my HbA1c dropped to 6.4. But I became complacent.
A year or so later, it crept back up to 6.8%, still “low” by many people’s standards, but I knew what could lie ahead if I didn’t act.
How I Found FFD
My sister-in-law’s close friend, Maya, had reversed her diabetes through FFD and encouraged me to join. Some people told me not to worry that my numbers weren’t high.
But I had already seen what complacency looked like. My husband ignored his diabetes, continued with sweets and smoking, and eventually passed away during a dialysis session.
I didn’t want my children to go through what I had.

Joining FFD: Immediate Impact
At 55 kg, I was told I might lose a kilo or two. Instead, I dropped 7 kg in a month, hitting 48 kg. I felt weak, my sugars dropped to 75 even while on tablets.
The FFD team responded immediately, they stopped my medication and smoothies and helped me recover balance.
Within three months, my HbA1c dropped to 6.3, and my most recent report showed 5.8%. I had reversed but the story was far from just physical.
Healing on Every Level
The strength of FFD lies in its team people who understand that healing isn’t just numbers.
Ms. Shraddha, my diet expert, adjusted everything with care, and guided me toward protein-rich, strength-focused nutrition
Ms. Anahita Thomas, my fitness expert, built a gentle and effective routine
Dr. Kiran Vaswani, my medical expert, gave me the belief that I could reverse
Ms. Udita, my IT coach, listened with empathy as I processed my pain
And Dr. Paramita’s session, where I shared my daughter’s traumatic experience, helped me deeply emotionally, spiritually, even physically
Physical Fitness & Social Balance
I now weigh around 50–51 kg, and I’m focused on building muscle. I’ve incorporated walking, yoga, and strength training into my routine.
It was Dr. Kiran, along with my diet and exercise experts, who suggested lifting small weights half an hour after meals to help reduce sugar levels.
I also follow Dr. Malhar’s guidance, because his approach is so scientific, progressive, and simple to follow, truly resonates with me.

Emotional Strength & Advocacy
Through inner transformation, I’ve become more intuitive, calmer, and aware. I learned to self-regulate: if one meal is indulgent, the next is full of greens and protein.
I also gave constructive feedback to the FFD team: people under 55 kg should not follow the same protocols as heavier participants. They appreciated it. In fact, they listened.
