My Diabetes Story

My diabetes journey actually started with obesity.

I was overweight and had started experiencing discomfort while sitting for long hours at work.

Since I work as a Assistant Administrative in Karnataka Government, my routine involved long sitting hours, and slowly the excess weight started affecting my comfort and mobility.

During a routine blood test, I discovered that I was in the borderline diabetic stage.

Although my HbA1c was around 5.8, my fasting insulin levels were elevated, indicating insulin resistance.

I did not have major diabetes symptoms yet, but I knew this was the right time to act before things worsened.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I came across Freedom From Diabetes through inspirational success stories.

What connected with me immediately was the possibility of controlling health naturally without depending on medicines.

My biggest motivation was simple: I wanted to reduce my weight, improve my health, and prevent diabetes from progressing further.

So I joined the Discover Reversal Session with complete dedication.

Reversal Story

When I joined the program, my weight was around 82 kg. Today, I weigh 64.8 kg.

Losing over 18 kg completely changed how I feel physically and emotionally.

Earlier, even sitting for long durations felt uncomfortable. But after the weight loss, I started feeling lighter, more energetic, more active, and far more confident.

People around me constantly started asking: “What have you done? How did you lose so much weight?”

Along with weight loss, my cholesterol, triglycerides, and metabolic markers also improved significantly.

Fast for Freedom Experience

One of the most powerful experiences during my journey was participating in the Fast for Freedom challenge.

I completed the fasting phase during Navratri and lost around 4 kg during that period.

More than the weight loss, I experienced better energy, improved digestion, better sleep, and a deep feeling of lightness in my body.

It genuinely felt like a detox experience for both body and mind.

Athletic Identity

Through FFD, I discovered my athletic identity as a Yogini. Yoga became a major part of my lifestyle transformation.

Along with yoga, I also started pranayama, home workouts, resistance exercises, and strength-focused movements.

One of my proudest milestones has been completing: 52 Surya Namaskars in one go.

That achievement gave me tremendous confidence and showed me how capable my body truly is.

Inner Transformation & Lifestyle Changes

I also attended a one-on-one Inner Transformation session where I was introduced to affirmations and emotional wellness practices.

Although I initially focused more on weight loss, I now realize that emotional health is equally important.

Today, I regularly practice yoga, pranayama, breathing exercises, and mindfulness.

These practices help me stay calmer, more balanced, and mentally stronger.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel like a completely transformed version of myself.

The biggest change is not just physical weight loss, it is the energy and confidence I have regained. I no longer feel uncomfortable in my body.

Instead, I feel active, motivated, and inspired to continue living this healthier lifestyle. FFD gave me the right guidance, structure, and support system exactly when I needed it.
