My Diabetes Story
My diabetes was discovered unexpectedly during a full-body checkup around 2013–2014.
At that time, my sugar levels were high, fasting readings around 9 mmol/L and HbA1c close to 10.

There’s a family history of diabetes, so the diagnosis wasn’t a complete surprise, but it hit hard. I was just 37–38 then, fit, active, and serving in the Armed Forces.
The thought that I now had a lifelong condition felt like a shock.

Initially, I followed my doctor’s advice and started medication, but over time, my lifestyle became more sedentary due to departmental work and limited mobility in quarters.
My sugar levels stayed high, and gradually, my creatinine levels also started to rise. That was the real wake-up call I realized this wasn’t just about blood sugar anymore; it was about my overall health.

How FFD Was Introduced and What Made Me Choose It
I came across Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) through Facebook and YouTube. The stories of real people who had reversed diabetes naturally caught my attention.
I registered for the program, hoping it could bring the same change in my life.

The structure, discipline, and clarity of FFD’s program stood out. It wasn’t about quick fixes but about transformation, something that matched the values we live by in the Armed Forces.
Reversal Story
When I joined FFD, I was under heavy medication precisely twice in a day combination of 4 drugs. Within the first two months, I was able to stop all my diabetes medications.
My HbA1c readings dropped steadily first to 5.7, and later, I recorded 5.3 while still maintaining a healthy routine.

The best part? My creatinine levels normalized. That was a huge relief. It removed a constant worry that had been hanging over my head.
Along with that came renewed energy, mental clarity, and a sense of freedom I hadn’t felt in years.

I lost more than 6 kg, going from around 61 kg to 54.5 kg, but this was healthy weight loss as a result of mindful eating and exercise, not weakness or deprivation.
Athletic Identity
Fitness has always been part of my life, and FFD helped me rediscover that passion in a structured way. I started doing Surya Namaskar regularly and incorporated light workouts.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I am medicine-free, energetic, and fully in control of my health. My focus is on self-management, something I’ve gained immense confidence in through FFD.
The discipline of diet, fasting, and exercise has become a way of life. I continue to practice the habits that got me here; mindful eating, movement, and mental balance.
Most importantly, I’m no longer anxious about my health. My kidney function has stabilized, and my sugar levels remain well within normal range.
