My Diabetes Story

My diagnosis was completely unexpected.

I had developed an abscess in my arm, and when I visited a doctor, he suspected something unusual and asked me to get my sugar levels checked.

That’s when I discovered that my blood sugar was very high.

What surprised me even more was that I had no typical symptoms; no fatigue, no excessive thirst, no frequent urination. I was active and functioning normally.

There was only a mild family history, so diabetes was not something I had actively worried about.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

After my diagnosis, I started researching online. That’s when I came across FFD’s green smoothies and lifestyle-based approaches.

I initially managed my sugar levels with medication and medical guidance.

But over time, I realized that while control was possible, I wanted a deeper, long-term solution especially for weight management and overall health.

That's when I attended the Discover Reversal Session by Dr.Pramod Tripathi and signed up for Freedom from Diabetes HTP program.

My Reversal Story

When I joined the program, my HbA1c was at 9.9. I was on a mild dose of Metformin (500 mg once daily).

Within just 10 days of starting the program, my sugar levels improved so significantly that my doctor advised me to stop the medication.

The first three months were truly transformational.

My HbA1c dropped to around 6.6, and I experienced steady improvements in multiple health markers.

Weight loss was another major milestone. I went from around 63 kg to a low of 56 kg.

Even now, I comfortably maintain between 58–59 kg.

My cholesterol levels improved gradually, and my triglyceride-to-HDL ratio also reduced significantly.

Additionally, I have had thyroid issues for over 20 years.

While the condition still exists, my medication dosage has reduced considerably from alternating 100 mcg to a stable 50 mcg daily.

Fasting & Lifestyle Changes

I have practiced the 9-day Fast For Freedom three times.

While the weight loss during fasting was not very significant, the real benefits were how I felt lighter, more energetic, mentally clear, and more creative.

Fasting helped me reset my system and improved overall metabolic health.

Athletic Identity

I enjoy a mix of activities rather than sticking to one. I go to the gym a couple of times a week.

I believe in staying active through variety rather than routine monotony.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I continue to follow the lifestyle principles I learned through FFD structured eating, mindful exercise, and regular monitoring.

What has truly changed is my understanding of my own body.

I now know how it responds to food, activity, and habits and that awareness helps me stay in control.

This journey has been more than just about numbers; it has been about learning, discipline, and long-term sustainability.
