My Diabetes Story
I was pre-diabetic for a couple of years before gradually becoming a diabetic in 2021.
I had struggled with obesity for 20 years due to post-pregnancy weight retention, multiple family responsibilities, and work pressure.
I didn’t prioritize my health, and my waist size had reached 101 cm.

How I Came to Know About FFD
Many friends recommended Dr. Pramod Tripathi for diabetes reversal. I also came across references by Dr. BM Hegde on YouTube.
Motivated to make life changes, I attended an FFD workshop and decided to join the program.

Reversal Story
I strictly followed the FFD protocols, including the 25% portion rule, mandatory protein intake, salads, and smoothies for detox.
I adopted water fasting on Sundays and experienced increased energy levels.
Over nine days of fasting, I lost 4.5 kg and eventually reduced my weight from 81 kg to 59 kg, improving my HbA1c from ~10 to 6.7.

Athletic Identity
Although I don’t have time for specialized workouts, I stay active through chair Surya Namaskar and daily recommended exercises, which also helped reduce my back pain.
Inner Transformation & Mental Wellness
I attended sessions with psychologist Udita Ma’am, who taught me box breathing and meditation.
Practicing these daily has helped me overcome stress and maintain mental wellness alongside physical health.

My blood pressure, cholesterol, EGFR, and liver function have all improved. I feel more energetic, healthy, and empowered to manage my diabetes independently.
