Key Takeaways:
  • Reduced HbA1c from 6.5 to 5.7
  • Became medicine-free within 3 months
  • Weight reduced from 62 kg to 56 kg in 2 months 
  • Improved digestion, acidity, and constipation
  • Built a habit of salads, exercise, and mindful eating

My Diabetes Story

My diabetes was diagnosed nearly 15–16 years ago. It started after a viral fever, when I began experiencing persistent leg pain for months.

When I got tested, my sugar levels were high.

There was some family history too on both my mother’s and father’s side so I knew I had to be careful.

Over the years, I didn’t have very severe symptoms, but slowly, complications started showing up.

I had cataract issues earlier, and recently I started seeing spots again in my vision, which required laser treatment.

I also had concerns related to my kidneys and knee pain.

Even though things were “manageable,” I knew I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

A close friend of mine joined the program and saw excellent results; she even cleared her GTT. That made me curious.

I had also seen videos of  Dr. Pramod Tripathi earlier, so when my health concerns started increasing especially related to kidneys and overall weakness I decided to join.

My intention was simple: I wanted to control my diabetes naturally and avoid long-term complications.

My Reversal Journey

When I joined, my HbA1c was around 6.5. With consistent changes in food and lifestyle, it came down to around 5.7.

One of the biggest wins for me was that I could stop my diabetes medication within 3 months.

  • My weight also reduced from around 62–63 kg to 58–59 kg.
  • But more than numbers, I started noticing real changes in how I felt:
  • My digestion improved
  • Acidity and constipation reduced
  • My energy levels became better
I started including salads regularly, something I never did before and that made a big difference.

I’ll be honest I haven’t been perfect.

I couldn’t consistently follow fasting, and sometimes eating outside still affects my sugar levels, especially fasting sugar in the morning.

That’s something I’m still working on.

But now I understand my body much better and that itself is a big shift.

My Athletic Identity

I wouldn’t call myself very athletic yet, but I have definitely become more active.

Earlier, I used to do very little, just some basic yoga.

I even avoided walking because I thought it might cause arthritis.

After joining the program, I started

  • Home-based exercises
  • Strength training (as guided)
  • Regular movement throughout the day
I prefer doing everything at home rather than going to a gym, and that works well for me.

Even with knee concerns, I’m slowly building strength and confidence in my body.

My Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, my focus is simple: Eat right, stay active, and be consistent.

I’ve built habits like
  • Eating salads daily
  • Following structured meals
  • Doing regular exercise at home
I’ve also realized that lifestyle matters more than anything else.

Medicines can only manage things but real change comes from daily habits.

There are still areas I need to improve like consistency during travel or social outings but now I know what works for my body.

And that awareness is powerful.
