My Diabetes Story

My journey with prediabetes began a few years ago during a routine check-up. Though I didn’t have major symptoms, I often felt tired, bloated, and heavier than before.

My thyroid levels were fluctuating, and despite my active lifestyle, I kept gaining weight.

With a strong family history both my parents and grandparents had diabetes I knew I had to act before it got worse. For about 2–3 years, I was on a low-dose diabetes medication (250 mg once daily), but I was never comfortable relying on pills.

How FFD Was Introduced to Me

My husband was the first to tell me about Freedom From Diabetes (FFD). A few of his friends had joined and were already seeing great results.

Curious, I explored FFD’s content and particularly loved the practical approach of whole foods, structured exercise, and no dependence on medication.

When I understood that FFD’s goal was true reversal not just control I felt aligned instantly. I joined the program with one goal: to heal naturally.

My Reversal Story

Within the first month of joining FFD, I was off medication completely. My tiredness reduced drastically, and I began feeling more energetic and mentally sharp.

The dietary discipline, especially the 25% plate formula of salads, proteins, fats, and carbs made a huge difference. I started losing weight naturally and went from 69 kg to 63 kg without crash diets or restrictions.

My HbA1c dropped from 6.2 to 5.9, and even my thyroid levels normalized. My running pace improved, and my energy levels soared.

I also took part in the Fast for Freedom 9-day fasting program in May.

Having done intermittent fasting earlier, I found FFD’s structured fasting protocol very balanced and sustainable.

The gradual transition from two meals to one and then to water fasting felt manageable. It helped break my weight plateau and reset my metabolism beautifully.

Athletic Identity

Running has been a big part of my life for the past few years. I run about three times a week and balance it with gym workouts for strength.

Since joining FFD, I’ve completed multiple 10K and half marathons, including the TCS 10K and Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, achieving my personal best timings.

Running keeps me focused, grounded, and full of purpose.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, my health feels more balanced than ever. My blood sugar is stable, thyroid is under control, and I have the stamina to run, work, and live with energy.

I continue to follow the FFD diet, two-meal pattern, and breathwork all now a natural part of my daily life.

What I appreciate most about FFD is its structure; having multiple experts (doctor, dietitian, and exercise coach) and regular check-ins keeps you supported and accountable throughout. It’s not a quick-fix plan but a complete transformation system.
