My Diabetes Story
I discovered I had diabetes during a routine health check-up — a surprise, since I had no family history. I opted for the tests after dealing with multiple health issues: ankle and knee pain, spondylitis, Frequent headaches, and rising uric acid levels (6.3).
I also noticed darkening around my neck, a sign of insulin resistance. These symptoms pushed me to get checked, leading to the diagnosis.

Although I had been on medication for blood pressure for the past four years, I had never taken any diabetes treatment. When I was diagnosed, my HbA1c was 6.3 — just entering the diabetic range.
How was FFD introduced, and what made me choose it?
I first learned about Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) through the YouTube channels of Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Gunjan Saxena. I also came across details about an event being held in Hyderabad, Which further inspired me to take the leap and join the FFD program.
What truly motivated me was the desire to reverse my diabetes, lose weight, and free myself from a lifetime dependence on tablets.

Reversal Story
The FFD team studied my case in detail and designed a tailor-made plan based on 4 powerful protocols.
After following the FFD protocols, I successfully brought my HbA1c down to 5.52 — well within the non-diabetic range. My weight loss journey has been equally transformative.
A year ago, I weighed 72 kg. By the time I joined FFD, I had already come down to 66.7 kg, and today, I proudly weigh 57 kg — A total loss of 15 kg, Thanks to disciplined lifestyle changes and dedication.

Looking back, My weight gain was largely due to stress and a busy lifestyle. With my husband away and children to care for, I coped by eating more to maintain energy.
Before FFD, I hadn't tried any structured weight-loss method.

Since losing weight, my quality of life has improved immensely. I feel flexible and can now fast easily. Headaches that once troubled me are no longer an issue. I even completed FFD’s “Fast for Freedom” 24-hour fast successfully.
Though I couldn’t attend many Inner Transformation sessions due to a tight schedule, I still practised meditation when I could.
Even just five minutes of meditation helps me manage stress. I also follow guided meditation videos when time permits.

While I have not yet discovered my athletic identity, I stay active with Yoga, Dumbbell workouts, Stretching, and Cardio. Fitness is now a regular part of my daily routine, helping me stay energetic and flexible.
Despite a busy life, I took charge of my health, reversing diabetes naturally, losing 15 kg, and drastically improving my energy and well-being.
