How I Got to FFD
I first heard about Freedom From Diabetes two years ago in Mumbai. My husband and I were on our way to see a doctor for my diabetes when someone from his office mentioned that his wife had lost 26 kg with FFD.
Curious and hopeful, we immediately went home, opened the FFD website, and I enrolled in the program. The structured approach, support from experts, and focus on holistic health convinced me that this was the right path to take control of my diabetes and overall wellbeing.
My Health Journey
Managing my weight has been a lifelong challenge, ever since a childhood accident caused me to gain extra weight.
When I discovered I was diabetic, my life turned upside down. I had tried multiple approaches but struggled to lose weight and maintain control over my sugar levels.
Reversal Story
My journey with diabetes began six years ago, after severe leg pain and extreme fatigue led to a diagnosis of high blood sugar my HbA1c was 11.3.
Over the years, I struggled with weight gain, fluctuating between 84–85 kg, and found it difficult to follow structured health protocols consistently.
When I joined the Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) program, I embraced the holistic approach, including personalized diet, exercise guidance, and lifestyle management.
Within the first three months, I lost 10 kg, reducing my weight to 75 kg, and brought my HbA1c down to 6.8.
Fast for Freedom Experience
I participated in FFD’s 9-day fasting program three times. During one specific session, I lost around 5 kg, going from 80 kg to 75 kg.
The fasting experience taught me discipline, improved my energy levels, and gave me a clearer understanding of meal timing to control sugar levels.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
I have learned that early meals help control morning sugar levels. I plan to restart regular morning exercises at 6 AM and take steps to rediscover my athletic identity, specifically swimming.
I also realize the importance of continuous support, and I hope for ongoing guidance throughout the year to stay consistent with my diabetes reversal journey.
