My diagnosis happened during a routine checkup around the time my child was born. I didn’t have strong symptoms, but the reports showed elevated sugar levels.
There was no direct family history of diabetes, though hypertension did exist. Given my age, I knew this was the right time to act, not just manage the condition, but truly fix it for the long term.
Why I Chose FFD
I came across Freedom From Diabetes after doing extensive online research.
What stood out was the holistic approach; it wasn’t just about controlling sugar levels but about fixing the root cause through lifestyle, nutrition, and understanding the body.

That clarity and long-term vision made me join the program.
My Reversal Journey
When I joined, my HbA1c was 9.7, and I was on basic medication.
Within 4–5 months, I was completely off medicines.
My HbA1c dropped to 6.6%, and along the way, I learned something even more valuable; how my body responds to different foods and habits.

I also saw major improvements in my liver markers (SGPT/SGOT) and overall metabolic health.
Even though there have been phases where my HbA1c fluctuated slightly due to lifestyle variations, I now understand exactly what causes those changes and how to correct them.
I joined the program with 107 kg which was dropped to 90 kg and is currently 94–95 kg. While there has been some regain, it’s a mix of muscle gain and lifestyle flexibility.
More importantly, I’ve stayed under 100 kg consistently and feel far more fit and active than before.

Today, I work out 6 days a week, something I never did earlier.
Fasting & Lifestyle Learnings
I’ve completed the 9-day Fast For Freedom twice, and each time it brought noticeable benefits:
- Better mental clarity
- Higher energy levels
- Feeling lighter and more in control
Fasting became easier after the initial days and is something I plan to continue.
Athletic Identity
One of the biggest shifts has been my relationship with movement.
I now actively engage in:
- Cycling (10+ km comfortably)
- Hiking (including 20+ km treks)
- Badminton and outdoor activities
Earlier, I wouldn’t even plan such activities. Now, I plan my holidays around movement, not just food or leisure.
Inner Transformation & Reflection
While I did explore inner transformation sessions briefly, I realized that consistency in practices like meditation and journaling is something I still need to work on.
However, the program gave me a powerful mindset shift to adapt, observe, and improve continuously instead of expecting perfection.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I feel:
- More energetic
- More disciplined
- More aware of my body
I understand what works for me and what doesn’t. Even if I go off track briefly, I know how to get back.
FFD has been more than a diabetes program; it has been a complete lifestyle reset.
