Hello all,
I’m Sapna Jagadeesh, a 45-year-old homemaker from Bangalore and a proud mom of two. I lived with diabetes for over 16 years, and during that time, I experienced more frustration, confusion, and fatigue than I can put into words. But today, I’m insulin-free, medicine-free, and feeling younger and stronger than ever thanks to Freedom From Diabetes.
Diagnosis & Family History
I was first diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my second pregnancy, at the age of 29. I didn’t expect it to turn into a chronic condition, but it did.
With diabetes running in my family, my mother, grandmother, and uncle all had itI was genetically inclined, and over time, I found myself on multiple medications and 40 units of insulin daily.
Despite dieting, exercising, and following doctor’s advice, nothing seemed to work. My HbA1c never dropped below 7.5 or 8. I was exhausted not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I had lost all confidence.
Turning Point: Discovering FFD
About four years ago, I came across Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s videos on YouTube. His calm tone, clear guidance, and sincere energy gave me hope. I spent a year thinking about it and finally, with the support of my husband, I said yes.
FFD coach Kshama’s words stuck with me: “Ma’am, within 15 days, your insulin will stop.” I joined… and it did. I was insulin-free in just 15 days.

Medicine-Free in 8 Months
Though insulin stopped quickly, it took about 7–8 months to come off all medications. I followed everything: nitric oxide dumps, gravity exercises, post-meal walks.
When the doctor finally told me I was medicine-free, I was screaming, laughing, cryingI couldn’t believe it. “I felt like I got my life back.”
- Weight Loss & Physical Transformation
- Weight: From 58 kg to 52 kg (now at 55 kg with muscle gain)
- Waist size: From 96 cm to 80 cm
- Clothes size: From XL to Small
- Trekking & gym 5 days a week
- Animal Flow training for flexibility and strength
I work out regularly, go trekking with a local group in Bangalore, and do things I never thought possible before. I feel tight, toned, and alive.
A Personal Hack for Cravings
I have one trick that really worked for me when I craved something:
“Taste the food. Don’t swallow it. Spit it out. If it goes in, it harms you. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
It might sound strange, but it helped me avoid guilt and stay on track.
The FFD Team – My Pillars
I’m endlessly grateful to the amazing team that helped me through every step:
Dr. Vaishali Zadav – strict but incredibly supportive. I followed her out of respect and… yes, a bit of fear too!
Dr. Nabeena – helped me build strength.
Dr. Malhar – his guidance around muscle gain and gym workouts was gold.
Shubhankar – an absolute gem.
Dietitian Pooja – always patient, always encouraging.
No question was too silly for them. Their belief in me kept me going.
Holistic Transformation Experience
From Day 1, the HTP journey felt easy, empowering, and joyful. The system, support, and clarity made everything feel manageable.
“I didn’t feel pressure. I felt empowered.”
Inspiring Others
Three of my cousins have already joined FFD after watching my transformation. I’m proud to say that my story is helping others believe in their own.
Athletic Identity & Current Health
I’m still exploring my identity, gymming and trekking excite me the most. Recently, due to a throat and lung infection, my HbA1c ticked up to 7, but I know I’ll bring it back down to 6.2 or 6.5 with consistency.
