My Diabetes Story

When I was planning for a baby, my routine check-up revealed I was diabetic.

I experienced constant hunger and struggled to conceive.

My initial treatment involved heavy insulin multiple injections daily which was painful and emotionally taxing.

Alongside this, I tried dietary adjustments with nuts, seeds, and careful meal planning, but the management felt incomplete.

How FFD Came Into My Life

I learned about Freedom From Diabetes through a friend who shared information online.

My main goal was to get rid of insulin, which had caused me so much physical discomfort and stress.

The thought of becoming independent of insulin was my biggest motivation to join FFD.

My Reversal Story

Under FFD guidance, my insulin dependence gradually stopped over 4 months, and my tablet dosages were significantly reduced.

My HbA1c dropped dramatically from 13.1 to 7.6 , while my weight decreased from 108 kg to 92 kg and my triglycerides improved from 279 to 175.

I also experienced increased energy, better flexibility, and greater awareness of my eating habits.

Inspired by the FFD Legends group, I began exploring athletic activities like cycling and running to improve my fitness.

Practicing Pranayama and other breathing exercises brought mental calmness and helped me manage stress more effectively.

Athletic Identity

I’m currently developing my athletic identity with a focus on cycling and running, aiming to gradually enhance endurance and strength while staying mindful of my health limits.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Now, I feel more confident and capable. I am more conscious about what I eat, my activity levels, and how I manage stress.

FFD taught me that diabetes can be managed and reversed with the right system, consistent effort, and self-awareness.
